The Inspiring John Paul II Monument in Guatemala City

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the central area of Guatemala City, start your journey at Parque Central. From Parque Central, head east towards Avenida 6a. Once you reach Avenida 6a, turn left and walk north until you reach Avenida La Reforma. Continue walking on Avenida La Reforma until you can see the iconic Torre del Reformador tower. From there, you will want to head northeast on Calle 14 until you reach the intersection with Avenida 7a. Turn left onto Avenida 7a and continue walking until you reach the entrance of the Parque de la Industria. The John Paul II monument is located inside the park, so you can enter the park and follow the signs to the monument.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From Parque Central, walk to the nearest bus stop at Avenida 6a. Look for a bus heading towards Zona 16, specifically lines 30 or 40. Board the bus and stay on until you reach the stop near the entrance of Parque de la Industria. Once you get off, enter the park and follow the signs directing you to the John Paul II monument. This option is economical and gives you a glimpse of local life.

• Taxi or Rideshare (not by car)

  If you prefer a more direct route without walking too much, consider using a taxi or rideshare service. You can request a ride from your current location to 'JG67+HQJ, Cdad. de Guatemala.' Inform the driver that you want to visit the John Paul II monument in Parque de la Industria. This method is especially useful if you are traveling with luggage or in a group.
