Get in
Frequent chicken buses run to and from Santa Cruz del Quiche and Sacapulas on no set timetable. For most points in Guatemala (Panajachel, Antigua, Guatemala City, etc.) you need to change at Sacapulas. There is one direct bus to Guatemala City daily.

Get around
The town itself is easy to walk around and there is frequent bus service to Chajul. For most other outlying villages (e.g., Acul) you need to find your own transport.
