Why book domestic flights in Guatemala?

For example, driving from Guatemala City to Flores can take 9+ hours by road. However, if you fly between the same two destinations, it only takes one hour.


Taking a flight in Guatemala saves you an enormous amount of time and lets you explore more while travelling less.
