Gate-side souvenirs at GUA’s Central Terminal Gift Shop
This simple “Gift Shop” sits airside in La Aurora International Airport’s Central terminal, after security, so you can grab last-minute items without backtracking. Expect the usual mix of souvenirs and travel basics in a small footprint, more like a corner store than a department-style shop.
Prices land in typical airport territory: magnets and keychains often sit in the Q25–Q50 range, while T‑shirts and basic apparel usually run higher, closer to Q150–Q250 depending on design. Snacks and bottled drinks cost a bit more than in town, but still workable if you just need something for the flight.
The shop usually keeps airport hours, opening early enough for morning departures and staying open into the evening bank of flights; think roughly 05:00 through late-night departures, though exact times shift with the schedule. If you have an early flight out of Central terminal, this is one of the few spots open when smaller kiosks are still shuttered.
Stock leans predictable: country-name mugs, logo T‑shirts, basic toys, plus some practical items like phone cables, power adapters, and simple personal-care products. Selection isn’t huge, so if you want higher-end Guatemalan textiles or artisan coffee, you should buy those in the city instead of relying on this shop.
Use this place as a safety net: do a quick walk-through on the way to your Central terminal gate to cover any gaps in souvenirs, snacks, or small essentials before boarding.
