6-Day Holy Week in Guatemala: Antigua, Guatemala City, Lake Atitlán and Tikal

Immerse yourself with Guatemala’s fascinating history and beautiful scenery on this 6-day tour. See some of Guatemala’s best-known destinations as you take a city sightseeing tour around Antigua and Guatemala City to see the processions. Also enjoy a boat ride on Lake Atitlán, visit the Mayan ruins of Tikal and mainly be witness of the Holy Week Celebration in Antigua and Guatemala City. Holy Week is perhaps the biggest holiday in the year, with processions, traditions and even specific foods. The Holy Week, or Semana Santa in Spanish, runs from Palm Sunday (Domingo de Ramos) to Holy Saturday (Sabado de Gloria), but the majority of celebrations are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the week. On these days you usually see hundreds of people in the streets, since they don't have to work and there are multiple processions in the larger cities. We invite you to see the traditions and feel the fervor of all people during this special celebration in Guatemala.
