Hi Marie,
Thanks so much for your reply!
Did you book the flight ticket yourselves?

Hi Mathews,
Thanks for the info.
I’m casually planning my trip
I’m also reading other people’s questions
San Juan, Flores... you mentioned this agency, but I can’t find it... maybe there’s some confusion...
Thanks in advance.
If you have the agency’s contact details or any clarification, I can’t find it online. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Have a great weekend
Françoise

hi, it's actually San Juan Travel, but there are other agencies on-site.
I don't know if it's possible to book remotely

Hi there,
In the villages around Lake Atitlán, they also offer community stays—it seems like it’s in San Juan La Laguna or Santiago Atitlán. Anyway, the agency that offers this is listed in *Le Petit Futé*.
If you're interested, here’s my travel journal—I spent two months in Guatemala this summer:

We’ve already done Costa Rica, also by renting a vehicle? It’s an easier country, I think, than Guatemala. Don’t forget to visit the Caribbean coast too 😉
You can see most of the cool sights in Guatemala using public transport—the roads seemed well-maintained overall to me. Better than in Costa Rica, where we rented a car and still had to deal with cobblestone roads.
