Welcome to the original city of Guatemala! On your trip to Antigua Guatemala you will discover a colonial gem that was partially destroyed after the earthquakes that hit the area in the 18th century. That was when the city was moved just a few kilometers, creating the contrast that exists today between the two cities. Among the many things to see in Antigua Guatemala, you’ll find the first university of Central America: the Pontifical University of San Carlos, which was founded 400 years ago.
"Did you know that originally the city was called “Very Noble and Very Loyal City of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala”?"
In this city, it is common for weddings and special events to be held given its great beauty. On your trip to Antigua Guatemala you can enjoy a good cup of coffee right where it is grown, and then explore the houses, convents, churches, and cathedrals from the colonial era. The Municipal Palace of Antigua withstood the earthquakes and continues to operate as the city’s town hall. And you cannot forget the Tomb of Hermano Pedro, greatly revered by the locals, where the remains of a Franciscan monk who founded the first hospital for the poor in the city rest. Are you ready to learn about Spanish colonialism in Central America?

Our commitment goes beyond designing trips. At PANGEA, we collaborate with Entreculturas on projects that protect indigenous girls in rural areas of Guatemala from sexual violence, early unions, and child pregnancies. These initiatives expose discrimination, promote safe school environments where they can speak, learn, and heal, and provide psychosocial support to strengthen their self-esteem, knowledge of their rights, and decision-making power. Because traveling also means making a positive impact on the world.
