Going to Guatemala in december. What is best way to get from airport to Santa Cruz del Quiche?

Question

I would rather take a shuttle instead of the bus system. Anybody traveled in that area?

Answer 1

I recommend you to take a shuttle bus, take it from Antigua Guatemala, is cheaper and you'll be able to enjoy Antigua, if you have the time, a couple of days....

Answer 2

There are a couple ways to do it.  From Guatemala City you can take a pullman class bus, most likely the terminal is in Zona 1, and a taxi can take you there from the airport, probably about Q50 (US$7) taxi because you get ripped off at the airport.  I would imagine the ride would be about 4 or 5 hours from GCity, depending on traffic.

Alternately, you could take a shuttle from the airport to Antigua, acclimate yourself for a night there (its a nice soft landing to Guatemala), and then take a shuttle to Sta. Cruz from there.  I don't know about shuttle service from Guatemala CIty, not as many, I'm sure.
