Backpacking in Guatemala: Guatemala City to Puerto Barrios by Bus
July 20 2021
Guatemala City to Puerto Barrios with the Litegua bus company.
Starting the day in Antigua, I took the Antigua to Guatemala City shuttle which was actually just a car for me and an American girl, to the Litegua Bus Terminal in Zona 1 in Guatemala City.
I had no desire to go and backpack Guatemala City. The reports are bad and I had no desire to go and check it out for myself, so I played it safe and booked a shuttle. This is not being a flashpacker, this is called being smart.
I got picked up at 03:50 from the Hospedaje El Viajero, the cheapest hostel in Antigua and we got to Guatemala City at 05:05 and bought a ticket for the Litegua bus to Puerto Barrios.
I managed to get the late 05:00 Litegua Bus, from Guatemala City to Puerto Barrios.
