Recommended Flights

To make your trip as easy and enjoyable as possible, we recommend arriving in Guatemala City (La Aurora International Airport) early in the day either on a red-eye, in the morning, or around lunchtime. Why? Late afternoon / evening traffic out of Guatemala City can be intense as everyone leaves the city to return home, and hitting rush hour may add hours to your trip and unnecessary stress. Arriving earlier in the day will make the drive to Antigua much more scenic, relaxed, and enjoyable. Similarly, it is best to leave Antigua for Guatemala City in the afternoon / evening to avoid rush hour traffic into the city.

Transportation within Antigua

Antigua is super walkable—most places in town are within a 20-minute stroll! If you'd rather catch a ride, Ubers are easy to find, and tuk-tuks are a fun (and affordable) local option. Just keep in mind that tuk-tuks usually only take cash. Additionally, we've found that you can often negotiate the fare with the tuk-tuk drivers before your ride.
