• From Quetzaltenango Airport:
• Get on Carretera Interamericana/CA1 in Totonicapán from Route 1 and take the ramp onto Carretera Interamericana/CA1 and also merge onto Carretera Interamericana/CA1. Finally drive to your destination in Panajachel.
• The easiest way to arrive in Panajachel from the airport is to take a Shuttle (leaving during the day every 30-60min in front of the exit for about 80Q) to Antigua.
• From there you can take another Shuttle to Panajachel. Common departure times are 5am, 10.30am, 12pm, 16pm, they cost also about 80Q/person and will drop you off directly at the hostel.
• For an authentic experience you can also make your way with the famous public “Chickenbus” from Antigua. It is a cheap way to travel but not as comforting as a shuttle, since you need to change buses several times and they can be pretty full (no seat guaranteed).
• Directions:
• 1. Antigua – Chimaltenango
• 2. Chimaltenango - Los Encuentros
• 3. Los Encuentros – Solola
• 4. Solola – Panajachel(exit at the bus stop after the gas station or at the church)
• The price for coming with public transportation should be between 35 to 30 GTQ.
