Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Antigua

Antigua, a vibrant jewel nestled in the heart of Guatemala, beckons travellers with its romantic allure and rich colonial heritage.

Its bustling artisan markets, lively plazas, and charming cobbled streets create an enchanting ambiance that is unrivalled in the Americas.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Antigua stands as a testament to Guatemala's storied past and vibrant culture. Preserved neo-colonial buildings adorned with vibrant flowers and vines narrate tales of bygone eras, inviting exploration and discovery. Behind ornate 18th-century doors, Spanish language schools, bustling salsa bars, and artisanal chocolate factories offer glimpses into the city's dynamic spirit.

Surrounded by three majestic volcanoes—Fuego, Meseta, and Acatenango—Antigua's streets form a labyrinthine maze, leading to hidden treasures and panoramic vistas. Visitors can lose themselves in baroque-style monasteries, haggle for souvenirs in bustling markets, or ascend Cerro de la Cruz for sweeping views of the city below.

By day, Antigua's markets burst with vibrant colours, showcasing handcrafted textiles and wooden trinkets. As dusk descends, the city transforms into a lively hub of music and revelry, as bars and restaurants welcome tourists and locals alike.

The pastel-hued streets of Antigua, framed by towering volcanoes, offer a gateway to Guatemala's varied landscapes and captivating culture. Whether embarking on a Guatemala adventure or simply immersing in its colonial charm, Antigua promises an unforgettable introduction to the country's rich tapestry of history and tradition.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
