Shuttle from Lanquin to Flores, Petén: The Easiest Way to Reach Tikal

Your Journey from Lanquin to Flores
The adventure begins bright and early in the mountain town of Lanquin, where our comfortable shuttle picks you up at the Tourism Bus Terminal at 8:00 AM sharp. From there, you'll travel through the lush landscapes of Alta Verapaz and Petén, cutting across jungle roads, small villages, and dramatic terrain that transforms as you head north toward Guatemala's tropical lowlands. It's a long drive, no denying it — but the scenery keeps things interesting, and every mile brings you closer to the doorstep of the ancient Maya world.
Once you arrive in Flores, we drop you off directly at Yo Amo Petén in the town center — perfectly placed for hotels, restaurants, and easy connections to your Tikal adventure.
