Guatemala City → Zona Viva: key facts

Getting from Guatemala City Airport (GUA) to Zona Viva takes about 10 min by car on an empty road (10–20 min in heavy traffic) over 4 km. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals area on the first (ground) level of the La Aurora terminal, after immigration, baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Zona Viva is the hotel and nightlife quarter of Zona 10, the business district of Guatemala City, with international hotels, restaurants, offices and embassies. It is the shortest of the city routes, only about 3 km from La Aurora. Cars leave the airport area and follow Avenida Las Américas or Avenida Hincapié north before turning into the numbered calles of Zona 10. Although the distance is small, the area is busy at rush hours and on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the restaurants and bars fill up.

The heart of Zona Viva is the grid between Avenida La Reforma and 1a Avenida around 12 to 16 Calle, where most of the large hotels stand. Oakland Mall and Oakland Place lie on Diagonal 6 a little to the east, and the Ixchel textile museum and the Popol Vuh museum are on the Francisco Marroquín University campus at the eastern edge of the zone. Avenida La Reforma, with its tree-lined central strip, links Zona 10 with Zona 9 and the city centre. Hotel entrances usually have their own driveways, so cars can stop at the door.

Public transport: The municipal Transmetro bus network serves the city itself; reaching it from the terminal involves a walk and changes.
