Can I get to Rio Dulce from Antigua quickly?

Question

I will be there for 1 week. Thinking antigua, Rio Dulce and then zona viva? Or should I visit Atilian?

Answer 1

That seems like a lot of traveling for 'one' week.Rio Dulce is a long way from the other three destinations.I would certainly include Atilan and also the ancient city of Tikal in any visit to Guatemala.

Answer 2

Don´t hessitate I live in Antigua. In Antigua you´ll see lot of small shuttle agencies offering shuttles to Rio Dulce one or double way. They are cheap and safe! This is a good season to go there because the rain hasn´t started yet!

The rainny seasson starts in two weeks.Hurry!

Answer 3

Go to Atitlan, the lake is beautiful.    I would skip Zona Viva, or anything for that manner in capital city.  Maybe only a guided tour at Museo Popul Vuh, if you're into mayan art.

Answer 4

For only a week, I would skip Rio Dulce.  You can easily do a day "flight" trip to Tikal, but not so easly to Rio Dulce.
