Airlines and services Guatemala

The airport tax is US $ 30, but most companies include it in the airline ticket fare. At the airport you will find a currency exchange office (at a very low rate), an office of the Tourist Office (Inguat), some telephone stores (a Guatemalan SIM card with a "plan" of two or three weeks including Internet data plus credit can be useful during your stay, if you have a unlocked telephone) and car rental agencies. At the exit of the airport you will be greeted by taxis and robbers offering hotels in Guatemala or Antigua.

To reach Guatemala City Center Ciudad (Zona 1) by taxi, count between 75 Q and 85 Q. No buses serve the airport. We advise you to take the white taxis. Most hotels in the capital and Antigua have a shuttle service to the airport, it is best to report your arrival so we can pick you up.

Santa Elena is located in Guatemala. TAG Airlines operates flights from Mundo Maya International Airport in Flores. TAG Airlines also offers flights to other destinations, including El Salvador and Cancún, Mexico.

Guatemala has several airports, including the capital, Flores, Puerto Barrios and Retalhuleu. Traveling by plane is not very interesting unless you have too little time to take the bus to the Mayan site of Tikal - in the Petén, near Flores - and to the emblematic Livingston - on the Caribbean coast, near Puerto Barrios. In this case, you will use the company Transportes Aéreos Guatemaltecos - TAG.
