Getting Here

1. Get to Antigua at least a day early and stay the night – Antigua is the tourist hub of the country and nearly all transportation runs through here. There are shuttles every hour from the airport to Antigua (Q100, 45mins-1.5hr depending on traffic).

2. From Antigua direct- Get an 8am or 9am collective shuttle (or 9-10m private shuttle) direct to San Marcos la Laguna (Q100), 3.5-4.5hrs depending on traffic, roads and weather).  You can also come via San Pedro la Laguna if there are no shuttles leaving for San Marcos la Laguna (Q100), 3.5-4hrs). If on a San Pedro shuttle service, either get off the shuttle in San Pablo la Laguna and take a tuk-tuk (Q5) to San Marcos la Laguna (the next town over), or go all the way to San Pedro and then take the ‘lancha’ boat (Q10) to San Marcos.

3. From Antigua via Panajachel – From Antigua take a morning collective shuttle service (Q90) approximately 2.5hrs to Panajachel. From Pana take a ‘lancha’ boat (Q25) from the public dock (muelle publico) to cross the lake to San Marcos La Laguna. The lancha leaves every 30mins until 7.30pm and usually takes around 1 hour.

4. Arriving into San Marcos la Laguna; We are a 15 minute hike from the lakefront on Barrio 2.

For all our retreats and trainings we include a direct private shuttle leaving the Guatemala City Airport at 9 am on the first day of each course. We recommend sleeping in the city the night before.  If you need a private shuttle any other time you can book it with us ($115 USD).
