Registration / Cancellation / Travel Arrangements
Participants are responsible for arranging for, and paying their own roundtrip transportation to Guatemala City Airport, and taxi to Antigua, where you will be met by either Patricia or Charles. Villa Sumaya will arrange for transportation from Antigua to the retreat center, and participants will reimburse Villa Sumaya for those costs.
Guatemala City has an international airport and is easy to access. Please try to book your flights as soon as possible. It is often difficult to find tickets if you wait too long.
Another option to consider is flying on one of the Latin American Airlines. For information on these flights you can visit: http://www.wonderlink.com
There are also lots of on-line travel sites that provide discounted ticket sales. If you want more information about these, email Charles for specifics.
Please contact Charles prior to booking flights to discuss options for meeting up at the airport, or making your own way to the retreat center.
Please note if you are unable to arrive one day early, then in order to make the last water taxi from Panajachel to the retreat center on Saturday, you will need to find a flight that arrives at Guatemala City airport no later than 2:40 p.m.on Saturday. We recommend planning to arrive a day early on Friday, and spending an extra night in Antigua.
In planning your return trip, keep in mind that you will have a water taxi ride from the retreat center to Panajachel, followed by a 3 1/2 hour drive to the airport, and then 2 hours for check in, so the later in the day the better. If you left the retreat center at 8 a.m. you could be at the airport by noon, and make a 2 p.m. flight.
In the event that you have trouble finding a flight into Guatemala on the first Saturday of the retreat, or out of Guatemala City on the last Saturday of the retreat, that will work for you, the retreat center has offered to help you find the right hotel for you in Antigua, based upon your preferences for - affordability, comfort, convenience, charm, etc. This way you can arrive a day early or leave a day later if that helps. Just let me know and I will put you in touch with them to work out details.
