Overview of your Antigua guatemala tour:

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.
