The Route: San Marcos → Antigua → Guatemala City

Here's how the journey works. Instead of one single long drive, we split the trip into two efficient legs with a brief bus transfer in Antigua Guatemala:

1. 🏞️ San Marcos La Laguna → Antigua Guatemala — Your first shuttle takes you from the lake up through the Guatemalan highlands to Antigua.
2. 🔄 Bus Transfer in Antigua Guatemala (15–30 min wait) — In Antigua, you'll switch to a second shuttle bound for Guatemala City. Short wait of 15 to 30 minutes while the connecting shuttle prepares — enough time for a coffee or a quick bathroom break. Your driver will guide you through the transfer.
3. 🏙️ Antigua Guatemala → Guatemala City — From Antigua, it's a smooth ride to the capital, dropping you off in one of the main zones (1, 9, 10, or 13).
