If you’re still on the bus when it gets to the town of Colomba, you went about 10km too far and you will have to get off and take another bus back or take a pick-up truck to the school.Įvery week we organize different activities which are scheduled throughout the day so as not to infringe on class time. The school is located less than five minutes down the road from the highway. When you get off, there will be a sign welcoming you to Santo Domingo, a neighboring community.

To be clear, tell the driver that you want to be let off at La Escuela de la Montaña. The official name of the stop is ´La Piedra´ (the rock). From Terminal Minerva, the bus line you need to take is the Xela-ju (going to Colomba), which departs every half hour starting before dawn and continuing until 5:00pm.

If you have taken a first class bus, take a taxi to the Terminal Minerva in Zona 3 to continue your trip to La Escuela de la Montaña. If you have taken a chicken bus to Xela, the bus to La Escuela de la Montaña will leave from the same bus station. The first class bus costs Q90-Q100 and a chicken bus costs Q50, and both take about 4 hours. A taxi will take you to a first class bus station (Alamo or XelaBus), or to the area where chicken buses leave for Quetzaltenango (commonly called Xela) (ask for camionetas a Xela).

When you arrive at the airport, you might want to change some money for taxis, buses, snacks, etc.
