Tuk-Tuks are three-wheeled taxis that will take you anywhere in Antigua for 15 quetzales(app. $2). They fit two Americans, or six Guatemalans. The experience is quite amazing. Tuk-Tuk drivers like to drive fast, and they like to dodge and weave through traffic.
Another form of transportation in Antigua and Guatemala is the "Chicken Bus," named because livestock is not an uncommon sight. These buses are how huge numbers of Guatemalans get around between cities. Here's the inside of one, before it got really packed.
Chicken buses are also very colorful. Each bus is decorated very differently, so that Guatemalans who can't read can still tell which bus they want.
