Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight details directly with your charter or regional carrier as schedules can be informal and subject to change.
  • Carry local currency (Guatemalan quetzales) as card payment facilities at this airport are unreliable.
  • Arrange ground transport in advance as taxis may not wait regularly at the airstrip.
  • Petén's tropical climate means sudden rain is common; pack a light rain jacket regardless of season.
