Here is some practical information, that may actually come in handy. Let's start with the obvious, the cost: 40 Q to enter, if you want a guide it'll cost you anywhere from 100 to 150 Q depending on your "negotiating skills." Guides ask for 150Q straight up, I paid 110. There is a bit of walking as the tour lasts up to an hour but there are lots of shady places and you shouldn't feel tired. There are serviceable bathrooms on the property, close to the main cloister, which is a real plus. The convent itself has been largely restored and is the jewel of all the abandoned churches of Antigua. If you visit just one, visit this one, and get that guide. It makes the difference, it really does. make sure they take you to the downstairs acoustic chamber, it is unbelievable! Highly recommended.

Came here as part of a city tour and so glad we did. This convent is a historical site with so many different areas to wander and enjoy. Just when you think you have seen it all, there is another hidden room, or nook or chamber. The back garden area has great views of the property and is framed by the volcanoes in the background. Be sure to find the underground cistern and try the ‘whisper into the wall’ game. If you are looking for photos for your social media, this is it.

Convento Capuchinas was built in 1736 and served as the home to 25 cloistered nuns. The ruins are impressive and provide clues to the kind of lives the nuns lived inside those walls. My friend and I hired a guide. He provided great insights and pointed to architectural features that we would have missed, such as the accoustic effect of standing on a certain spot in the circular tower. The museum, which is in what used ti be the nun's apartments nicely rounds off the known history of the Convent. To walk the grounds and spaces that these same nuns walked was wonderful.

Guatemala is full of cultural experience and this is one of the many great things this country has to offer.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE! I came here for a wedding and I was just blown away at how beautiful this structure is. The whole time I couldn’t get over how unique it is to be able to have a wedding here! Very inspiring! It’s the beautifully weathered walls that really get me as they’ve seen and heard so many stories over time. Astonishing

One of the many beautifully restored ruins in Antigua. The convent has several interesting features such as the "echo chamber" room, the nuns' circular living quarters, the bath areas, and a small museum. A helpful groundskeeper gave us some info about it's history and function.

Very pretty place for a quick visit. We spent about 30 minutes or so because the museum was closed. It cost 40 Q for foreigners and you can purchase tickets on the spot with cash only.

Don't skip this place. For 40 quetzales it is worth spending some time here absorbing the amazing architecture and organisation of this convent. I didn't take a guide but figured out things by myself. Very nice museum as well with a lot of well preserved paintings and statues.

Among the more impressive ruins of old monastery in town. The circular structure at the back is quite unique, must be fantastic before the earthquake. There is a well-organized museum too. Worth the ticket price to check it out.

This is a must see on your visit to Antigua! There is an admission fee, but I think it was well worth it. Be warned, it is an old convent church, so if you're not into that, I guess you can skip it. ;)

Beautiful convent, full of historic walls, where your imagination can fly back on time. Entrance about 55Q for foreigners.Founded in 1736 and during the earthquake in 1751 and 1773 suffered severe damages.Baroque style. You can find a couple of nuns in the basement that were mummified. Gorgeous pictures can be done inside . Recommend it.

Super cool experience. We paid Q15 to enter and paid a guide Q150 to give my wife and I a guided historical tour. HIGHLY recommend getting a tour. So much incredible information you wouldn't get otherwise.

Lovely old place and with a lot of history ! The one thing that got my attention was the color of the sunlight reflected on the walls ! Not much to see there but the architecture and the damage gives it post-apocalypse feel ! If you are into taking photos or videos , this place will fascinate you !

The cashier seems mentally ill. He keeps saying "Correcto" no matter what you ask. Also very expensive compared to local prices. They are taking advantage of foreign tourists. It's ok to pay a bit more as a European but not 3 times more.

Las capuchinas is the ruins of a 18th century nun convent. Beautiful gardens and well kept buildings. Entrance fee as of October 20th 2021 is: 5 quetzales for locals 15 quetzales for central Americans 20 quetzales for foreign students with a student card 40 quetzes for foreigners

For 40 quetzales the entrance it's very little what you get to see due to covid measurements! A bit disappointing to be honest!

This is a visually aesthetic and richly detailed building, built foregrounding a gorgeous mountain. You should read about its history prior to checking out this place to have better appreciation for the interior and exterior. Easily #1 historic site outside Tikal.

Beautiful place to learn about Guatemala culture and they cultural and heritage.

This is the oldest building I've ever been in, in my whole life. And thanks to an informative guide, I could understand more of the history.

Historic, incredible and full of info to learn more about this enigmatic destination. Follow me @fabigo87 on insta for more content about this amazing places

This was the only museum tour we did I. Antigua. It’s Q40 for adults and Q20 for students. We didn’t pay for a guide but felt like we were able to navigate our way and make sense of the sights ourselves. I recommend taking a picture of the picture and description of the place before you enter. You can then reference it as you go through. Definitely interesting sites to see. Glad we did it. It took us about 40 mins.
