Dear Student:

Welcome to Guatemalensis!

     Thank you very much for your interest and for contacting Guatemalensis Spanish School. It is very important that you follow all the instructions of this Travel Information site. Please don't send checks or money by the public mail service of Guatemala, because it is not safe. When you arrive at the school, you will pay your complete tuition, using U.S. Dollars cash or Quetzales, our guatemalan currency.

 

     How to get to Guatemalensis Spanish School:

 

     Flight Arrangements: Select your flight or Airline according to the best rates in your area. Check your nearest Council Travel office for discounts if you are a student or Professor. Make flight reservations that fit your budget and schedule.  You will land in the Aurora Airport located in Guatemala City.

We recommend you follow the instructions (information is available if required).  The most comfortable way to travel from Guatemala City to Quetzaltenango is by the recommended pullman buses:  Alamo run Greyhound style buses.
