Antigua-Guatemala
- Antigua-Guatemala
- Introduction
 Guatemala,
a colourful and hospitable place, is recognised as the cultural centre
of the pre-discovered new world. As the origin of the mysterious Mayan
Civilization and still predominately Indigenous, the country offers
some of the continent's richest folklore. The design of the women's
colourfully embroidered tuics, capes and skirts dates back to precolonial
days. The cultural blend of the Indigenous, Spanish and African people
can be seen in many aspects of the daily life. Ancient rituals are intertwined
with Christianity. Moreover, there is an abundance of high quality,
low-priced handmade goods.
 Antigua
In a country that treasures its colonial past, Antigua is a prize possession.
One of the most beautiful colonial cities of all Latin America, its
charm and relaxed atmosphere attracts students and travellers from all
parts of the world. Antigua is especially beautiful during Semana Santa,
when the streets are carpeted with elaborate decorations of coloured
sawdust and flower petals. The distance to Guatemala City is 45 km.
