How to get from Guatemala City to Puerto Barrios by Bus
Tagged: July 20 2021 | Tagged: Guatemala
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, 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 Litegua bus terminal in Guatemala City at 05:05, where I bought a ticket for the 05:00 bus to Puerto Barrios, which was running a bit late.
