Getting to Antigua
Antigua is about an hour’s drive from Guatemala City, and we’ve made getting there easy!
✈️ Fly Into:
La Aurora International Airport (GUA) – Guatemala City
🚘 Book Your Private Shuttle:
We’ve arranged a safe and easy transportation option for our guests through our travel planner. Please book in advance to coordinate your arrival time.
👉 Reserve Your Car Here
A friendly arrival host will be waiting with a name sign at the airport’s terminal exit to escort you to your transfer.
If multiple guests are on the same flight, you can book a larger vehicle to share costs—one person will need to book, and payments can be managed among the group.
We recommend booking your transfer between 30 and 14 days before departure to ensure accurate flight details.
