  • Which airport should I travel to?

    You will be flying to La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City (GUA). The airport is a 30 min drive for Antigua.

  • What is the best way to move around Antigua?

    Walking! Antigua is a pretty small and walkable city so we suggest you pack comfy shoes (sandals and/or sneakers) to walk around the cobblestone streets. If you get tired of walking, you can always get an Uber or a tuc tuc (a 3-wheel taxi, just note that payment is cash only).

  • What food or drinks should I try while I am in Guatemala?

    Drinks: Michelada (beer with a tomato juice mix and lime which is good for hangovers), Horchata ( drink with rice, water, and milk), Rosa de Jamaica ( drink made from dried hibiscus flowers, sugar and water), and last but not least Zacapa Rum (Guatemala has the best rum in the world)

    Food: Tamal, Chicken Pepian, Ceviche, Enchiladas.

  • What is the currency?

    Quetzal is the official Guatemala currency. The exchange rate is usually between 7.60 to 8.00 quetzales to 1 USD or euro. ATMs are widely available especially around tourist areas. Larger hotels also have them inside their premises. Credit cards are accepted everywhere except local artisanal markets or souvenir shops and tuc tucs (3-wheel taxis) so we recommend carrying some quetzales with you.

  • How is going to be the weather in November in Guatemala?

    Guatemala is known as the land of eternal spring. That period should ideally be the dry season (hopefully), so the weather is expected to be around 22°C with 7 hours of sunshine per day, cooling down to about 15°C at night.
