Guatemala bus schedules

Buses and vans, in general, don't give you a receipt or a schedule by which they run.

Therefore, the only sort of bus ticket that I received in Guatemala, during our trip from Honduras to Belize, was one from a company called "Vargas".

This bus, which is really a large van (approximately a 25 seater, but expect about 30 at any given time), goes from Chiquimula to Puerto Barrios.

Ticket one says:
Leaving Chiquimula at 9am
Leaving Puerto Barrios at 3:30pm

Ticket two says:
Leaving Chiquimula at 5 - 5:30 - 6 - 9 - 10:00 - 1:30 - 2:45 - 3:30
Leaving Puerto Barrios at 3:45 - 4:30 - 6:30 - 2:00 - 3:30 - 16:00

I assume that the departure times start in the morning work their way into the afternoon. The 16:00 time is 4:00pm for those of you who don't often use military time.

From from Chiquimula to Puerto Barrios (which on many buses looks like Pto. Barrios), they stop at Zacapa, Rio Hondo, Mayuelas, Los Amates, Quirigua, Gran Cañon, Virginia, Bananera, Las Flores, Cayuga, Champona, Entre Rios and vice versa, according to ticket one.

Ticket two also adds Esquipulas, Doña Maria, Rio Blanco, and Tenedores.


I have no idea which ticket is the most up-to-date, but this will give you a rough estimate on when this van leaves and from where.
