Overview

Although Semana Santa is when most visitors travel to Antigua, it’s not the only place to experience the Easter celebrations in Guatemala. The Holy Week is the commemoration of the passion (last days) and death of Jesus Christ through processions.

Holy Week can be a good time to visit Guatemala City. The historical center will be filled with beautiful and solemn religious processions and colorful sawdust carpets as well. Grab your camera and capture the meaningful moments that you´ll see on this heartwarming tour.

You can start taking this tour during The Easter season—known as Lent—which begins on Ash Wednesday with Decorated churches and special vigils, or explore the City’s Holy Week. Please check the dates of Holy Week in Guatemala for reference

All the 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

Activity itinerary

Plaza de la Constitucion
  • 1h
The place to start a sightseeing tour through the historic center of Guatemala City must be the Constitution Square (officially: Plaza Mayor de la Constitución), which has also been called Central Park since it is in the heart of Zone 1, the city downtown. This area has the most important government, financial and administrative buildings in the country.
Catedral Metropolitana de Santiago de Guatemala
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Is an imposing twin towered structure. Built in the neoclassical style with completion in 1815. The cathedral has survived three major earthquakes: 1830, 1917, and 1976. During Lent and Holy week the cathedral will be decorated with catholic fabrics and colorful vigils.
Palacio Nacional
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
This beautiful green building was constructed between 1939 and 1943 by Jorge Ubico (by-then President) to be the National Palace or house of the government. It was declared Historic, Cultural and Artistic Patrimony of Guatemala in November 1980 and it is now open to the public as a museum.
Iglesia de La Recolección
  • 20m
This is a Neoclassical church constructed in the 18th century. During the Holy Week, there's a lot of vigils within the church. Its main procession or religious float goes out on "Passion Saturday'' (16th of Apr) with the precious images of Nazarene Jesus and the Sorrow Virgin.
Iglesia Santo domingo
  • 1h
Santo Domingo is a Neoclassic church constructed during the 18th century. During Holy Week, its most famous procession is the "Buried Lord" on Good Friday (April 15th, 2022).
Guatemala City
  • 2h
During the day, to move from one point to another, we will see the beautiful streets of the city and the people preparing the natural carpets. The streets are full of architecture, color, and Christian fervor, especially during this season.
Guatemala City
  • 1h
The last part of the day will be to take you back to your hotel so you can rest. We hope this is a day that you enjoy and learn about Holy Week in Guatemala, the meaning of each offering, and the natural carpets, so you take home a nice memory.
