Overview

  • Discover the many faces of Guatemala City in one easy, family-friendly day. After hotel pickup, step out at the Central Park (Plaza de la Constitución) in the Historic Centre to see the National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral from the outside while your guide shares the storey of the capital. Then spend the morning at La Aurora Zoo, founded in 1924 and one of the most beloved zoos in Central America, with your entrance included. For lunch, eat like a local at Cayibel, a lively food court where you can try shucos (Guatemalan-style hot dogs), one of the country's favourite street foods; if your group prefers, Guatemala's iconic Pollo Campero fried chicken is just steps away. In the afternoon, stroll the white, colonial-inspired streets of Ciudad Cayalá, with boutiques, cafés and ice cream shops, before returning comfortably to your hotel. Perfect for families and first-time visitors to Guatemala.
