SHUTTLE FROM FLORES PETEN TO LANQUIN
About this tour
Shuttle from Flores to Lanquin: The Direct Route Back to Lanquín
Just finished exploring the ancient ruins of Tikal and heading south to Lanquíny? This daily shuttle is your smartest, easiest, and most comfortable way to connect two of Guatemala's most iconic destinations. Skip the stress of public buses, long layovers, and confusing connections — hop on our shuttle in Flores at 8:00 AM and arrive in the mountain village of Lanquin the same day, ready for turquoise pools and jungle adventures.
Your Journey from Flores to Lanquin
The adventure begins bright and early in the island town of Flores, where our comfortable shuttle picks you up at Yo Amo Petén at 8:00 AM sharp. From there, you'll travel south out of Petén's tropical lowlands, gradually climbing into the lush mountainous landscapes of Alta Verapaz. It's a long drive, no denying it — but the scenery keeps things interesting as you leave the flat jungle behind and enter Guatemala's dramatic highland country.
Once you arrive in Lanquin, we drop you off directly at the Tourism Bus Terminal — perfectly placed for connections to your Semuc Champey hostel, hotel, or shuttle up to the pools.
