  We had an excellent experience with this hike! The shuttle picked us up 15 minutes late from our hotel, but that was understandable considering they had other passengers. Our guide, Francisco, was fantastic. He provided us headlamps since we didn't bring any. He was considerate of our pace and checked in with us. The hike uphill took about 45 minutes, steep but manageable for a casual hiker. We got to the lookout point right before sunrise, and the view was gorgeous. We were provided hot cocoa and pan dulce as we watched the sunrise. Francisco gave us information about the area, and also recounted a local Mayan legend when we asked if he had any stories about the lake. :) We also requested his recommendations on things to see around San Juan, and he had great suggestions. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this activity and our guide.

• So much fun!

  Benjamin was an incredible guide. He knew a lot about the history, culture and nature of the area. Also, a very safe driver! I would highly recommend him!

  Moderately physical. Doesn’t go all the way to the tip of the nose but the views are amazing. Our guide Henry took amazing photos for the group.

• Good hike with a boring guide

  So the whole trip was organized well, including the hike and the pickup, you also get hot chocolate while waiting for the sunrise as well as a breadroll. The sunrise itself is beautiful. Unfortunately what I lacked was the guide's presence & overall vibe (I think his name was Carlos); the only thing we heard the whole trip was him calling us to gather, or communicating a break. No intro, no information on the way, he was silent the whole time - definitely the weakest guide I've had during my travel in Guatemala. I could hear other guides on our way as well as at the viewing point explaining what we can see, sharing some info about the local culture etc which wasn't the case for us. This left me a bit disappointed

• Nice excursion:)

  We did the excursion with Benjamin, everything was perfect. It takes the time to do things and we stayed for a long time at the top which really allowed us to enjoy all the shades of color of sunrise. Benjamin is a mine of information on local flora and fauna. He is very interesting and has a lot of humor, all in English or Spanish and he is careful to speak slowly when it is not our usual language. He is very attentive with each participant. I recommend!!!

• The best guide you could ask for

  We did this trek with Benjamin and it was an amazing experience. He was on time, picking us up from our hotel at 3am. He took a very nice and easy pace, taking breaks very often and was always sharing interesting facts. He is a great person, amazing guide and I highly recommend him to take you on adventurous around Lake Atitlan!!
