Question
What is the best way to travel around Guatemala?
Answer
For getting around Guatemala, we recommend these convenient transportation options: Shuttle: We will share a link mid January with an attached form to coordinate a private or shared shuttle from Guatemala City Airport. Uber: A convenient and trackable ride service, though vehicles tend to be compact. Great for shorter trips with clear routes. Walking: Antigua is wonderfully pedestrian-friendly during daylight hours. However, we advise against solo walking after dark for safety reasons.
Question
How long is the drive from La Auora Airport <> Antigua?
Answer
The drive from La Aurora Airport to Antigua varies significantly depending on traffic conditions. Navigating through Guatemala City can be challenging, especially during rush hour, when the journey may take over two hours. For a smoother trip, we recommend traveling early in the morning or late at night, which can reduce travel time to approximately one hour.
Question
When should we head back to the states?
Answer
All wedding festivities will be finished 4/10 but there is so much to do in & around Antigua!

You can find more information about these 3 options on our "things to do" page.
