Audio Guide of Mundo Petapa

The park generally opens from Thursday to Sunday and on public holidays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is strategically located on Petapa Avenue in Guatemala City, making it easily accessible both by private car and by urban public transportation.

Admission is completely free for IRTRA members who present a valid membership card; for the general public, the fee is around Q100 for adults and Q50 for children and senior citizens. Rides are paid separately, although the most cost-effective option is to purchase the unlimited rides wristband.

To enjoy the full experience, including the extreme rides, the zoo, and the food areas, I suggest setting aside a full day, around 6 to 8 hours. If you are short on time, you will need at least 4 hours to see the essentials without rushing.

Mundo Petapa is a flagship project of IRTRA that revolutionized recreation in Central America, standing out for its cleanliness and safety. Culturally, it is especially important for its 'My Neighborhood Plaza,' a beautiful architectural recreation that transports you to historic Guatemala from the early 20th century.

Without a doubt, Thursday and Friday are the ideal days if you want to enjoy all the rides without long lines. As for the weather, the dry season, from November to April, is perfect for enjoying the park without worrying about rain.

Yes, Mundo Petapa has excellent infrastructure with ramps and paved paths that allow wheelchairs to move easily through almost the entire venue. However, keep in mind that certain rides have safety restrictions for boarding.

Since it is within the city, you can also take the opportunity to visit the famous La Aurora Zoo or the Children's Museum, both located in Zone 13, about 20 to 30 minutes away by car depending on traffic.

Arrive early, right at opening time, to enjoy 'The Jungle' (the internal zoo) peacefully before the heat rises. Also, wear very comfortable clothes and athletic shoes, since you will be walking quite a lot between the park's different themed areas.
