אנטיגואה גווטמלה

עיר קולוניאלית, אתר מורשת עולמית של אונסקו.

Antigua Guatemala is one of Central America's most enchanting colonial cities. Founded in 1543 as the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is framed by three magnificent volcanoes — Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Its cobblestone streets, pastel-colored facades, and baroque church ruins make it a photographer's paradise and a cultural treasure trove. Whether you're learning Spanish at one of the many language schools, hiking Volcán Acatenango for sunrise views over erupting Fuego, or simply sipping locally grown coffee in a centuries-old courtyard, Antigua delivers an unforgettable Central American experience.
