Zona 3, Xela
La Democracia is situated in the heart of beautiful Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala. We are surrounded by a lively and active residential neighborhood located only minutes from the historic city-center.
We are in close proximity to buses connecting you to locations throughout Guatemala, excellent restaurants and cafés, high-speed internet access, as well as traditional outdoor markets and the busy parks of Quetzaltenango.
We’ll pick you up!
If you wish, we will arrange transportation for you from La Aurora airport in Guatemala City. A taxi driver will meet you at the airport, drive you to the bus terminal, help you purchase a ticket, and show you where to board the bus.
The trip from Guatemala City to Quetzaltenango takes about 5 hours. One of our staff people will meet you at the bus station and bring you to your homestay family.
Want to find your own way here?
Within Guatemala there are many options for transportation. There are luxury coaches, smaller tourist vans, and the beloved ‘chicken buses.’ We can provide information about getting anywhere you want to go.
