School description

Antigua’s name says it all: meaning “old” or “ancient” in Spanish, Guatemala's former colonial capital is the epitome of antiquity preserved in time: This small city, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and flanked by high volcanoes, still has relics from the Spanish colonial days which can be seen in the Spanish Baroque-influenced architecture and charming plazas. Guatemala is known as the heart of the Maya civilization, and Antigua is also home to many ancient ruins.
