Once the seat of Spanish colonial power, Antigua is a UNESCO site defined by Baroque architecture and 16th-century ruins like the Convento de las Capuchinas. Sitting at 1,500 metres, the city is flanked by the 3,760-metre Agua Volcano. Visitors can explore jade refineries processing local nephrite or tour 150-year-old coffee estates situated on the volcanic slopes of the Panchoy Valley.

Situated in a volcanic caldera, Lake Atitlán is ringed by twelve villages where Tz’utujil and Kaqchikel Maya traditions prevail. In San Juan La Laguna, cooperatives use the jaspe tie-dye technique with indigo and madder root, while Santiago Atitlán houses the syncretic shrine of Maximón. The lake reaches depths of 340 metres, making it the deepest freshwater body in Central America.
