Semana Santa (Holy Week or Easter Week) is known as the ultra-high season for visiting Antigua Guatemala: people flock here from all over the country, hotel prices can be much higher than usual and many accommodation options book out well in advance.
For travellers, the many religious processions that occur throughout the city during Holy Week (and the crazy atmosphere that accompanies them!) are the main draw. But is that enough to recommend visiting Antigua during this very busy period? Check out our Semana Santa travel vlog and let's find out! (Spoiler alert: we LOVED it!!)
Thanks a lot for watching our videos, we really appreciate it! If you've enjoyed our video, please leave a like and share your thoughts or questions in the comments section - it really means a lot to us :)

I remember being there during semana santa my dad was very involved in the precesión, I was very little but I remember being so scare of getting lost. I love making the alfombras (tapestries) and The smell of it.

Hi Paola, yes it's very busy and a bit hectic at times so I can imagine it would be exciting and also a bit intimidating for a small child. Sounds like you have some good memories of semana santa 😊👌🏻

Orgulloso de ser de mi bella guatemala... de sus comidas de su gente y sus tradiciones... este año por la pandemia no hubieron precesiones. Pero los invito a que hagan un documental sobre la procesión más grande del mundo que es la del Cristo yacente de los pobres (sepultado del calvario) en ciudad capital.
