the Americas. More than 30 monastic orders called Antigua home
and built stunning monasteries, convents and cathedrals in the
town. Its setting is majestic, nestled between three dramatic
volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango.

Hemisphere. The history of the processions dates back to the early
1500s and began with the arrival of Don Pedro de Alvarado from
Spain. While many are attracted to the solemn religious fervor,
others enjoy the beautiful “alfombras” (sawdus carpets)
that are made along the processional routes.
