Where to catch the Litegua bus in Guatemala City

I took a shuttle from Antigua directly to the Litegua Bus Terminal in Zona 1 in Guatemala City.

I got picked up at 3.50 am from the Hospedaje El Viajero, the cheapest hostel in Antigua. I got to the Litegua bus terminal in Guatemala City at 5.05 am, where I bought a ticket for the 05:00 bus to Puerto Barrios, which was running a bit late.

The shuttle from Antigua to Guatemala City cost me 100 Q (Guatemalan Quetzals) and the bus from Guatemala City to Puerto Barrios, 125 Q.

The ride took bang on 6 hours. There is Wi-Fi, supposedly, but I couldn’t connect. There is a toilet on board, but no running water. The bus makes just one stop for about 20 minutes for food and free toilets. They handed out one small bottle of water.

The air conditioning can be a bit cold. Take a sweater.

Once in Puerto Barrios​, you can walk to the ferry terminal to get the boat to Livingston.
