La Semana Santa (Holy Week)

Holy Week in Antigua Guatemala, also known as Semana Santa, is one of the most fascinating and unforgettable traditions. During Semana Santa, sawdust carpets stretch for blocks, incense drifts through the air, and funeral marches echo off the walls of colonial churches. Some of these floats, also called andas, can weigh up to 8,000lbs and are carried by over a hundred people.
