How To Get To Antigua From the Puerto Quetzal Cruise Port

The city of Antigua is located about 50 miles (85 kilometers) north of Puerto Quetzal, past lush coffee plantations and volcanic peaks. Taxis and shuttles are available, but your best bet for making the scenic 1.5-hour drive is to book a shore excursion that includes pickup and drop-off.

Port Information

Spanish is the official language of Guatemala, though tourist areas can often accommodate English speakers. Guatemala’s currency is the quetzal. In most large cities, the US dollar and credit cards are also widely accepted. If possible, you should carry small bills and change, as vendors often can’t break larger bills.
