How to get to Pasa Bien?

From Guatemala City follow the road to -El Atlantico- (Carretera al Atlantico), or CA-10. You will see a sign on a fork with a turn to Coban to the left and to Izabal (Puerto Barrios) to the right. Take the turn to the right.

Stay on the road and drive until you reach a very, very commercial area filled with restaurants and hotels. Here you can choose your place to stay.

Right ahead, just at the end of this commercial line you will find a turn to your left, ask to make sure it is the right one as there are no signs over there. Here you go straight to Pasa Bien. The drive from Guatemala City is about 2 hours and a half.

From this point you can continue your journey to Playa Dorada, Puerto Barrios, Castillo de San Felipe or Flores Peten (Tikal).
