Guatemala City, Guatemala to San Jose, Guatemala?

Question

My husband has to travel from San Diego to Guatemala to meet his navy ship after our son is born. I can find a flight to Guatemala City. His final destination needs to be San Jose, Guatemala.

How would he get there? Are there any flights or would he take a bus? How far is it? Who would we work with to make this happen?

Answer 1

ITS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE CAPITAL! I WOULD SUGGEST TO ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT CALLED LA AURORA (THATS THERE MAIN AIRPORT)  N TAKE A BUS FROM THERE ITS PROBABLY A COUPLE OF HOURS BUT NOTHING BIG. LOOK ONLINE TO FOR TRANSPORTATION LIKE BUSSES PLAIN ETC. BEST THING TO DO IS WHEN HE GETS THERE TO ASK THEY WOULD FOR SURE TELL HIM THE BEST WAY!!! HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Answer 2

congrats on your baby go to the capital of guatemala airport which is la aora then either take a bus or taxi. Or he could rent his own car.

Make sure its a luxury bus a good brand because some buses just rob people you never know

I assume you are talking about Puerto San Jose since it is a navy ship he is meeting.  There are many San Jose de (whatever) in Guatemala.

The coast is probably only a couple of hours by land from Guatemala city.  You could charter a flight to the Puerto San Jose airport, but there are no commercial flights.  I would guess the cost would be prohibitive.  http://www.tag.com.gt/ingles/charters.ht...

There are buses, but if you are not familiar with Guatemala and don't want an experience I don't really recommend trying that. I think the best idea would be to charter a taxi.  I would guess that for $100 you could easily get somebody to drive him to the coast.  Maybe the best idea is to stay in a nice hotel.  Marriott or Holiday Inn, etc. and have them arrange with one of their approved drivers.  It will probably be more expensive than negiotiating on the street, but much safer.

Take the bus or rent a car, the road is pretty new and pretty nice.
