Hey there! We are SO thrilled you are all coming to one of the most beautiful countries in the whole world to celebrate with us! Whether you are coming for a few days or a couple of weeks, there will be SO much to do.

You will fall in love with all of the people, ruins, volcanoes, mountains, lakes, beaches, and of course some of the most delicious food. If you want to get really wild, you can take half a day to hike up Pacaya Volcano and roast marshmallows over some hot lava - or even better backpack up Acatenago Volcano and wake up in the clouds - all from Antigua!

We recommend flying into Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora in Guatemala City (GUA). Hopper is a fantastic app to keep an eye on all flights for different dates, etc. You can set up the alerts so you will know if you should buy now or wait a couple of weeks.

All major airlines fly into GUA: Delta, Avianca, United, American Airlines, Aeromexico, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airlines, & Copa Airlines.

There are plenty of different hotels and airbnb's in Antigua to choose from. Most of them are centrally located with delicious food and great service.

Here is a sample itinerary of a trip you could make while you visit this amazing country:

1. Take a Shuttle to Antigua for our wedding and spend at least 3 nights (there are many activities and experiences to do in Antigua Guatemala).

2. After our wedding you could head to Lake Atitlan and stay there for at least 2 nights.

3. Take a shuttle back to Guatemala City and take a plane to Tikal and spend at least 2 nights there to see the Mayan Ruins.

4. Fly back to Guatemala City and head back home.
