Antigua Guatemala Travel Forum

We will be travelling by day to Pana from the airport outside of Guatamala City . Can anyone recommend a mininbus service that is safe? I saw this warning online " Make sure the van goes to Panajachel via Solola (the longer and highly traveled route) rather than through Patzun. The route through Patzun is quicker and more beautiful, but on an isolated road where robbers have occasionally stopped vans, so its best to avoid the route." So now I want to ensure we go through Solola! Appreciate your comments.

Hi there: You buy your ticket for the shuttle van inside the airport. I assume that they're all safe, take the same route, and are reliable. Because I haven't heard of any complaints or recent warnings from other travellers on any of the other travel forums, or in the guatemalan newspapers. The US state department travel advisory is the most confusing, and useless thing I ever seen. One thing is to advise people on precautions to take but what they do is totally scare people with rediculous and outdated information that only god knows where they get it from. Have anice trip.

Thanks for your reply!
