Going to Xela, you can't easily make reservations. Tickets are normally available if you arrive in sufficient time before departure. The trip is about 4 to 4.5 hours. The last departure is at 5:30 or 6PM. Allow sufficient time (about 1.5 hours) between flight arrival and bus departure — if necessary, stay overnight in Guatemala City and leave the next day. We have an optional airport pickup and homestay available if you need to do this. The schedules below are accurate to the best of our knowledge but may change without notice.
A valid passport (not due to expire within 6 months) is required to enter Guatemala, but citizens of most countries do not need a visa. The complete list of countries from which a visa is not required is on our FAQ page.
