  "connection_tips": "Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR) serves the Caribbean coast of Guatemala. It handles regular domestic flights from Guatemala City (GUA) via TAG Airlines. Ground transport options include local taxis and motorized 'tuk-tuks' which meet every scheduled arrival and reach the city center or the ferry wharf in 10-15 minutes (approx.\n\n50-100 GTQ). A significant connection tip: for those heading to Livingston, take a taxi to the municipal wharf (*muelle municipal*) for the 30-minute boat transfer. The terminal is functional and efficient, handling only a few flights a day The useful trick here is to think of the airport and the municipal wharf as a paired transfer system, because many passengers continue by boat toward Livingston after landing.\n\nArrive 90 minutes early for domestic departures. Facilities include basic cafes and a waiting area. Ensure you have cash (GTQ) for all local transport and boat tickets, as card facilities are rare at the wharf For visitors heading to the Caribbean coast, that means a taxi-and-launch plan is usually more practical than looking for a full ground-route alternative. The municipal wharf is the key second leg, so the airport and boat should be timed together. A checked-in wharf transfer is the easiest way to avoid an awkward wait.",

  "terminal_info": "Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR) is the primary air gateway to Guatemala's Caribbean coast, located in the Izabal Department approximately 3 miles (5 km) from the city center. The airport operates from a single, compact passenger terminal building designed to facilitate domestic regional travel and private charter operations. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for the region's major logistics hubs, including the Santo Tom\u00e1s de Castilla and Puerto Barrios maritime ports.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is functional and focused on essential services, providing a sheltered waiting area, basic check-in counters, and a modest security screening zone. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities like ATMs, currency exchange desks, or luxury lounges, it features a small caf\u00e9 and kiosk offering light snacks and travel essentials. Travelers are strongly advised to handle significant financial and dining needs in the Puerto Barrios city center prior to arrival.\n\nOperationally, the airport is primarily served by TAG Airlines, connecting the region to Guatemala City. The facility also serves as a strategic base for humanitarian missions and government transport, situated near the unique Garifuna cultural center of Livingston and the scenic Rio Dulce. Ground transportation to the city and nearby ports is well-supported by local taxi and tuk-tuk services, providing a quick 10 to 20-minute transfer for arriving passengers.",
