Next, we’ll stop at the Dirección General del Diario de Centro América, where you’ll learn about the history of the National Typography building, constructed in 1935.

Then, we’ll take a visit to Casa Ibargüen, a cultural hub in the historic center. The next stop is Constitution Plaza, the vibrant heart of the city known as Central Park. Spend time here enjoying the lively atmosphere and historical significance.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, with over 200 years of history, is next on our list. After a stop, we’ll dive into the local culture at Mercado Central, exploring the bustling market. Finally, we’ll end our adventure with a delightful cup of Guatemalan coffee at San Martín, the perfect cozy spot to relax and reflect on your day.
