Tour of Catholic Processions During Holy Week in Antigua

Holy Week in the Spanish-Colonial city of Antigua Guatemala offers a spectacle worth a visit whether you celebrate Easter or not.

Layers of sand are placed on Antigua's cobblestone streets and then covered with multi-colored sawdust, decorations, pine needles, flowers, and other plants, creating exquisite natural carpets.

You can start taking this tour during The Easter season—known as Lent—which begins on Ash Wednesday (March 2nd, 2022) with Decorated churches and special vigils, or explore the city during Holy Week starting April 10th.

All the Antigua Guatemala religious floats during the holy week are a "not to miss" when you visit Guatemala. But there are 4 special processions you should keep in mind when booking your tour:

• Palm Sunday
• Good Friday
• Holy Saturday
• Easter Sunday

Guatemala ranks # 1 in the world in terms of its traditions of Holy Week. Travel with a team of professionals and an expert guide who will explain the meaning of each thing, no matter how small.
