Antigua Guatemala: Central America colonial heart and coffee tourism
Antigua Guatemala was founded in 1543 and served as the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala until the devastating Santa Marta earthquake of 1773, when the capital was moved to the new Guatemala de la Asuncion. The city was rebuilt on its ruins and today preserves its original colonial layout with the Central Park, Cathedral of Santiago and Palace of the Captains General as its most emblematic buildings. Cerro de la Cruz, from which the colonial city can be seen with Agua Volcano at 3,766 meters in the background, is the most photographed viewpoint in Central America. The Panchoy Valley where Antigua sits is the largest high-altitude coffee producer in Guatemala, with farms on the Antigua-Acatenango corridor producing some of the world highest-quality high-altitude coffees. Antigua Guatemala Holy Week, with its colorful sawdust carpets and internationally recognized religious processions, is considered Latin America most elaborate Holy Week celebration.
