Just 45 minutes away from the La Aurota Airport, La Antigua in Guatemala can be reached. There is charter tourist van that costs abut US$30 where the driver will be waiting at the terminal with your name on a sign. This would be very wise for the first- timers even if it might be more expensive than the other available vehicles around. If you are well- versed on the place, it is safe to ride a bus as it is cheaper compared to the taxis and shuttles. The local transportation is called “tuk-tuks” that can take you to within the city center for Q10 or less.

* Cerro dela Cruz
Thirty minutes away from Parque Central is a large prominent cross set on a hill to the north of the metropolis. When the day is very clear, a picturesque vista of the Volcan de Agua can be seen that rises high from the south.
