Getting to the city
La Aurora serves Guatemala City, so your transfer stays within the city; still allow extra time at rush hour. Most travellers use a taxi or a ride-hailing car, while public transport can be slower with luggage. Avoid unlicensed drivers and confirm the price or booking in the app before you leave. For early flights, leave with a margin for traffic; for late arrivals, check that your hotel or host can arrange a pickup.
