Full-Day Private Tour to the 4 Capitals of Guatemala
- Type:Private and Custom Tours
- Duration:10 Hours
OVERVIEWWe have created a wonderful tour for you to know the history of Guatemala differently. You will go from being in a Mayan archaeological site to 2 colonial cities, and the current capital of Guatemala, all combined in this tour.
Guatemala, before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors, was divided into kingdoms of different ethnicities. In 1524 when the conquerors set foot in Guatemalan for the first time, they did so in the Kaqchiquel City of Iximché and founded the first Spanish capital there. A few years later, they moved to Ciudad Vieja and established their second capital. Still, due to a natural disaster in 1541, they moved for the third time to what we now know as Antigua Guatemala. Finally, after an earthquake in 1773, they moved their capital for the fourth time, and they did it to where it is located today.
This is a specialized tour for history lovers and the entire family. You will be accompanied at all times by an expert guide.INCLUDESPrivate transportationBottled waterEntrance Fee to Iximche Archeological SiteHotel Pick Up & Drop OffGuided tour in Iximche + Ciudad Vieja + Antigua Guatemala + Guatemala CityCertified Tour GuideEXCLUDESGratuitiesLunchMEETING AND PICKUPPickup pointsThe supplier will pick up customers from select hotelsOptions and Start timeFull-Day Private Tour to the 4 Capitals of Guatemala:08:00 AMPickup detailsWe pick up all travelers at the motor lobby of their hotel or accommodation in Guatemala CityWHAT TO EXPECT1: Guatemala CityWe will start this tour by picking you up at the lobby of your hotel in Guatemala City. While we go on the road until reaching the Mayan City of Iximché, our expert guide in history will tell you all the interesting facts about Guatemala City, which today is the fourth capital of Guatemala founded in 1777 and with a lot of history since it was in this site where the independence act was signed in 1821 but we will tell you how that happened later in the tour.2 hours -Admission Ticket Free2: Sitio Arqueológico IximcheOnce we get to Iximche, you will find the ruins of the last Mayan city. Iximche was conquered by the Spanish when they came to Guatemalan lands and became the first Spanish city. After 3 years here, the Spanish moved to what we now know as Ciudad Vieja, near Antigua Guatemala.
Iximche was a Kaqchichel capital, one of the Mayan ethnic groups that still exist in Guatemala nowadays. The architectural vestiges that we see today are the remains of Mayan palaces, plazas, and ball courts that in their time were colorfully decorated and were galas of the kingdom.
Much of the structures were destroyed during the conquest and the rock buildings were dismantled to use their stones in the Spanish constructions of Tecpán. Get to know these and more facts on your visit. During your time here in Iximche, you might see Mayan priests performing religious ceremonies, we ask for respect and discretion.2 hours -Admission Ticket Included3: Ciudad ViejaCiudad Vieja is the second capital of Guatemala after the coming of the Spanish conquerors. This city was founded in 1527. During your visit, you will appreciate the town's church, the central park, and the house of Beatriz de la Cueva, who was the wife of the Spanish conqueror, Pedro de Alvarado.
Ciudad Vieja was destroyed a few years later, in 1541 by an avalanche from the Agua Volcano that is very close to the city.
