Getting around by cab and VTC Guatemala

Guatemala has a well-developed rail network. It's the quickest and safest way to get around the capital and to discover the immediate surroundings of cities such as Antigua, among others. Prices are also relatively economical: expect to pay 140 quetzales - around 16 euros - for the 45-minute journey from La Aurora airport to Antigua. Nevertheless, you won't find Uber drivers throughout the country; some areas are completely devoid of them. In this case, don't hesitate to take a cab or climb into the back of a tuk-tuk.

Uber is the fastest and safest way to get around the streets of the capital, especially since the prices are quite cheap. The alternative is to take a cab Amarillo - more expensive - to call in advance or order from your accommodation. If one can consider that to move with a driver rather than in Transmetro constitutes a luxury in daytime, it becomes essential the evening. Moreover, whatever the time of day, some places are more difficult to reach by public transport, such as Ciudad Cayalá.

Although the city can be visited on foot, a vehicle will be necessary to go to its surroundings. Of course, chicken-buses serve villages such as Ciudad Vieja and San Juan del Obispo, but you will have to systematically go back to Antigua to discover a new place. The easiest way is to order an Uber, which is quite affordable. If you want to see as much as possible in a day or an afternoon, don't hesitate to negotiate a package deal with your driver, asking him to wait for you between each stop.
