The Ruinas de la Iglesia de la Candelaria in Antigua Guatemala offers a glimpse into the city's rich history, showcasing the remains of a once-grand church. The site is generally accessible, though some areas may have uneven surfaces. A visit can be undertaken solo, allowing for independent exploration, or as part of a guided tour to gain deeper insights into the ruins' past. There are typically no seasonal restrictions, but the rainy season (May-October) may affect the experience. The cost of entry is minimal, often just a few quetzales, and a typical visit lasts around 1-2 hours. Note that the ruins are best appreciated with some prior knowledge of the history of Antigua and its colonial architecture.
