Theatrical tours
Step back in time and live an unforgettable experience
Since 2016, the Theatrical Guided Tours at the Monastery of Santa Catalina invite visitors to a night-time walk through the magic of the monastery under the cover of darkness. Throughout the route, characters in colonial costume share their own story: how — and why — they came to the monastery.
The guides also accompany the group dressed in period clothing, completing an immersive experience perfect for stepping out of routine and enjoying it with family and friends.
