About Antigua:
Antigua, the capital of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala, was founded in the early 16th century. Built 1,500 m above sea level, in an earthquake-prone region, it was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1773 but its principal monuments are still preserved as ruins. In the space of under three centuries the city, which was built on a grid pattern inspired by the Italian Renaissance, acquired a number of superb monuments.
Antigua is among the world's best conserved colonial cities, it is a magic and captivating small town that makes you feel time might have stopped some 300 years ago. From its colonial architecture to its beautiful surroundings; strolling through town on the cobblestone streets, you will experience the splendors of ancient times!
Activities in Antigua:
Antigua Guatemala offers something for all travel tastes. Colonial history that is always present combines with an array of cultural activities which include art galleries and exhibits, performing arts, popular arts, films, forums, and cultural tourism in general. Antigua Guatemala was once the third most important Spanish colony in 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.
Antigua hosts the largest celebrations for Lent and Easter in the Western 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' (sawdust carpets) that are made along the processional routes.

La Reunión Golf Resort,
Antigua, Guatemala
Celebrates the Forces of Life.
Mayan elders tell us how, in Guatemala, the mountains and volcanoes are embedded with nawal (the Mayan word for 'spirit'). These are powerful places that provide us with purifying and rejuvenating energy.
Since time immemorial to present day, shamans have followed their ancestors´ trails up the Guatemalan volcanoes and mountainsides to perform sacred ceremonies.
Once there, they would invoke the Gods of the Earth, Rain, Sun, Moon, Wind, and Stars to celebrate the Forces of Life.
La Reunión Antigua Guatemala invites you to follow the example of these shamans.
In this special place, marvelous, playful, and awe-inspiring Forces converge: Earth, Sky, Air, Water, History, Diversity, Friendship, and Golf. Here, you can celebrate the miracle of Life.
Four imposing volcanoes frame the 1,384 acres of a former coffee plantation that is now home to La Reunión Antigua Guatemala. These towering volcanoes—Agua, Fuego, Acatenango, and Pacaya—seem to embrace the valley below and provide spectacular views that evoke the primordial origin of the Earth.
La Reunión is also just 17 kilometers (11 miles) away from Antigua Guatemala, a splendid colonial city that UNESCO declared a world heritage site in 1979.
