If you caught the 8am shuttle, you’ll arrive at the property at around 8,30am. Two and a half hours will be plenty of time for most people to explore Hobbitenango. How long to stay on a Hobbitenango Day Trip? The staff keep a small bonfire going, which everyone will gravitate toward as everything closes to the public at 8pm, and the Wifi is dodgy at best (you’re there to disconnect remember). While it might get cold, it’d be an awesome place to wake up for sunrise! The campsites are on the hill behind the restaurants close to the hammocks. There are three camping spots available from US$11 per night. A one night stay in the Hobbitenango houses ranges from US$80-95. This is because they are available for booking and you can stay in these overnight. Things To Do At HobbitenangoĪs you walk around the property, you’ll see two Hobbit holes that are inaccessible. I wouldn’t recommend walking or cycling from Antigua as a lot of the journey is up a steep incline on narrow roads. Note, if you’re staying overnight, the path is not suitable for those with suitcases, therefore you’ll want to take the shuttle bus rather than walking the last 800 metres. Or you can wait for the shuttle to take you for 10Q (around US$2) return. There’s plenty of parking space available and once you’ve parked, you’ll have a 15 minute walk (800 metres) to Hobbitenango itself. The other option is to drive yourself from Guatemala City, Antigua or Lake Atitlan. The shuttle leaves from Hobbitenango back to Antigua every two hours from 9am. The shuttle takes 25-30 minutes each way and costs 35Q (around US$5) for the round-trip. This will save you a lot of hassle getting up the last 800 metres to the property, which is only suitable for 4WD vehicles. The shuttle bus departs every two hours (from 8am to 4pm) and takes you right to the entrance. The best and easiest option is to take the shuttle departing from the Hobbitenango office in Antigua. To get there, you have two realistic options. Hobbitenango is located only 9km to the northeast from Antigua’s city centre so it makes for a great day trip.
