This is one of the most memorable experiences in Guatemala formerly brought by Spaniards back in the XVI century and disperse along the country since then. But the cobbled stone streets, the baroque architectural style of the temples, residences and public buildings create a special scenario where processions, imagery, sandwood and flower carpets, martial bands and devotion takes place. So you're going to put your hands-on the making of a colorful carpet helping a local family, watch the departure of a significant procession for the Antigueños, visit altars in two churches (one of the altars is made with vegetables as offerings), and taste some traditional sweets of this purple season. Carpets will be along the route so you're not missing anything. You'll be surrounded by local people and entire families that are coming to Antigua to enjoy of this tradition from one generation to another. It's all about faith.
Regular schedule of tour is: 09:00 Meeting at the lobby of your hotel in Antigua Guatemala 09:10 Alfombra making workshop with a local family 10:30 Walk to Temple of San Francisco to see the departure of the procession and acommpaniment of the procession (sounds, smells, colors and faces of devotion are part of the tradition) 11:40 Visit to altars of other churches in the city (in the way we'll see other carpets so you can enjoy and amazed with the different designs) 12:40 Tasting of Semana Santa's traditional dessert End of service
