Guatemala Airports
GuatemalaThere are two international airports in Guatemala. The largest is the Guatemala City airport of La Aurora International Airport (GUA); this is the airport that you are likely to use. The other international airport, Mundo Maya International Airport (FRS), is located outside the towns of Santa Elena and Flores. Though the Guatemala's airports may themselves be nothing to write home about, they are the precursor to your upcoming adventures, which might include kayaking, exploring ruins, observing wildlife in cloud forests, and going on cultural tours.
At the present moment, the only domestic flights in Guatemala are between Guatemala City and Flores, although other new domestic airports are being built. Though you likely won't spend the entirety of your vacation at these places, Guatemala's airport destinations are close to the actual airports in question. As such, they make for sensible places to stay for a night or two before/after flying. The hotels here are comfortable and equipped with business-style amenities.
Guatemala Highlights
A curated look at the best Guatemala has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.
Flores and Santa Elena
The twin towns of Flores and Santa Elena, which are often collectively referred to simply as “Flores,” are set within the heart of Petén. Flores is actually a small island in Lake Petén Itzá that’s connected to Santa Elena, on the mainland, by a causeway. With its pastel houses and genteel atmosphere, Flores is very pleasant.
Explore DestinationPuerto Barrios
Puerto Barrios is a large, hot port city along Guatemala’s Caribbean coast. The town was once Guatemala’s main shipping port, but today is a rather forlorn and unappealing place. There is little reason for travelers to come here except while en route to places like Lívingston and Punta de Manabique.
Explore DestinationGUA La Aurora AIRPORT
La Aurora is the fourth busiest airport in central America and has been upgraded to accommodate that status but remains limited in extra amenities. The Guatemala City Airport- La Aurora is modern single terminal airport. It is the primary airport for Guatemala. The recent renovations have upgraded the airport with new ticket counters, seven new gates with jetway bridges and a glass concourse.
