FLIGHTS Catch your eary bird to Lago Atitlán/ Guatemala! We want to remind you in buying your flights as soon as possible. Prices for January and February 22 to middle america going up! We found out the most economic direct connection from europe with Air Europe through Madrid, KLM through Amsterdam and Air France through Paris. As well it makes sense to look into a flight through Cancun Mexico. If you are planning to go through USA be aware that you need to be fully vaccinated, even it is only in transit on the airport.
