GETTING TO ANTIGUA
The classic exit strategy on arrival at Guatemala City airport is to make a beeline for elsewhere, usually Antigua.
Door-to-door minibuses run to any address in Antigua (usually Q80 per person, one hour). Look for signs in the
airport exit hall or people holding up 'Antigua Shuttle' signs. The first shuttle leaves for Antigua at about 7am
and the last around 8pm or 9pm, although there's often one hanging around to meet the last flight (around mid-
night). For groups, the other option is a taxi (around Q250), but if there are only one or two of you, shuttle
minibuses are more economical (if a bit slower and less comfortable).
Gay Venues
Don't get too excited about this heading: there are only a couple of places worthy of men-
tion for men, and nothing much for women.

GAY
(Ruta 3 3-08, Zona 4; admission from Q30; 9pm-1am Wed-Sat)
This used to be called Pandora's Box,
and has been hosting Guatemala's gay crowd since the '70s, although these days it gets a
mixed crowd and is one of the best places in town to go for trance/dance music. It has two
dance floors, a rooftop patio and a relaxed atmosphere. Friday is 'all you can drink.'
