Iglesia y Convento de la Recolección, Antigua, Guatemala



The amazing Iglesia y Convento de la Recolección ruins are among the most impressive in Antigua. Built between 1703 and 1708, it was reduced to rubble by the 1773 earthquake. To enter the site I climb over and through giant pieces of rubble.

At the entrance the guard says it's 30 quetzales each to enter. I tell him that Lori-Anne and I each paid 15 at San Jerónimo. He says ok and lets both of us enter for 30.
