Your Flights

Please plan to book your travel to arrive at Villa Sumaya the night before (Dec. 5th) or the morning of Dec.6th so you have plenty of time to get settled and land before our opening ceremony at 6:30pm on Dec. 6th. To book an extra night on Dec. 5th at Villa Sumaya, just reach out to them at [email protected]

You will fly into Aurora Airport (code: GUA) in Guatemala City. Going through Immigration and Customs at Aurora typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. The drive from the airport in Guatemala City to Lake Atitlan, takes about 3.5 hours, followed by a 10-15 minute private boat ride to the private dock at Villa Sumaya. We work exclusively with our trusted transportation company, Kan Tours. We will connect you with them and help you coordinate your drive from the airport as well as your private boat to the Villa Sumaya dock. Your transportation fees are included in your retreat booking.

Flying home, you’ll catch a flight out of Guatemala on Dec. 13th in the evening or night time unless, of course, you'd like to stay on the lake to explore! Check out of Villa Sumaya is at 11:00am on Saturday, Dec.13th.

We will provide a private boat and shuttle for you to head back to the airport on Saturday. If you intend to stay and explore, you will be on your own to make your travel arrangements out of Guatemala.

Once you register for the retreat, you will be included in an online forum with other retreat participants to coordinate travel times, shared shuttles, etc.
