Pharmacies in Puerto Barrios and the Caribbean Coast

Puerto Barrios is Guatemala’s main Caribbean port city and the gateway to Livingston and Rio Dulce. Pharmacy options are more limited than in the western highlands, so plan accordingly if heading to remote Caribbean destinations.

Key Pharmacies

Farmacias Galeno’s own branch directory (read 16 October 2026) lists three Puerto Barrios branches open 24 hours: Cruce Santo Tomás de Castilla; Colonia Buenos Aires, Santo Tomás de Castilla; and Aldea Entre Ríos, Caserío Placa Uno (all 1702). It also lists a branch on 9a Calle between 7a and 8a Avenida open 6:00-22:00 (7942-9090). Cruz Verde’s own branch list includes several Puerto Barrios branches (among them 6a Avenida between 8a and 9a Calle) and one at Rio Dulce, Aldea Fronteras. Meykos lists two Puerto Barrios branches (national PBX 1722; Cruz Verde’s is 1728). We could verify no phone or hours for the Batres and Bienestar listings below.

Before Heading to Livingston

Livingston town is reached by boat, and Galeno’s directory lists no branch in the town itself (its branch in Livingston municipality is at Aldea Rio Dulce, open 24 hours, 1702). Buy what you need in Puerto Barrios before crossing.
