Getting Here
Doula School, Villa Sumaya, Santa Cruz La Laguna, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Directions
La Aurora International airport is a 4-4.5 hour drive from Lake Atitlán. Some people plan to go directly from the airport to training, which starts at 4pm on the first day, while others choose to stay in Antigua for a night to decompress, and then go to the lake the next day. We will help coordinate shuttles from the airport and Antigua.
