What To Expect
We are going to pick you up at some spots that we have as meeting point in San Juan la Laguna or San Pedro la Laguna. But, If you stay in a different village that we have not decribed here, may we can arrange your transfer or an any other conexion, it´ll has extra cost because we have to take you by boat. But everything is posible, just please let us know. This hike is one of the most requested tours we have. It is very accesible and short length, the trail has three sections, down, flat and the last part is steep, but it worth to watch an amazing sunrise from the top. We will see the volcanoes chain, lake atitlan and the villages surounded the lake. The transfer takes 30 minutes from San Juan or San Pedro to Santa Clara and then 35 minutes to hike up on the summit. After this tour we come back at the town in San Juan la Laguna and we serve you an delicious guatemalan breakfast and real local and organic coffee in our partner coffee shop with the lake view.

1.00DO NOT BOOK this company is a scam. They quite literally ghosted me on the morning of pick up after no showing and replied days later when Viator made them refund me. Please be warned. They will probably reply back to this with some bs like they have with others, do not believe them.
Beautiful, must see.

5.00Easy pickup despite me scheduling last second, contacted via WhatsApp. Easy hike if you are fairly fit, about an hour up. Very cold at the top, so need layers. Given bread and option of coffee or hot chocolate at the top. Beautiful, good guide.
Great start to the day

5.00We were picked up on time and taken to the start of the hike. Both our driver and guide were friendly and spoke English. The hike up was relatively easy, we took multiple short stops along the way. Once at the top we were seated and provided with either hot chocolate or coffee while waiting for the sunrise. It was beautiful!!!! Worth the 4am departure. The way down was quick and easy. Breakfast was optional, if you took it you would have had to find your own way back to your hotel. We opted to not have it and take the ride. Overall a great experience.
Never turned up

4.00Juan, our guide, was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The only reason I’m giving four stars is that I was not aware that it’s dangerous to walk in San Pedro at night because of the dogs. I understand that the company only has certain pick up spots, but since we were only five people, a pick up closer to my hotel would have been preferred. Or if that is not possible, at least some resources on how to get to the spot at 4 am.
Sadly I experienced a...

3.00Sadly I experienced a very rude staff member when contacting via WhatsApp to arrange pick up. The hike itself was great though
Good value and worth the effort!

5.00We booked the day before and got a WhatsApp message towards the end of the day to organise the pickup. We got picked up around 3.50am at the pickup agreed and the experience was really smooth! There were 5 of us in total and our guide Juan was fantastic. The hike wasn't very difficult but Juan was very good at providing breaks along the way and checking everyone was ok. At the top, we had a brioche bun and a hot chocolate or coffee while waiting for the sun to rise, which was very welcomed (especially as it gets cold!!). The views were incredible and very much worth the early start! We then went back to San Juan in the shuttle and had a delicious typical Guatemalan breakfast with Juan and the group, on the waterfront. Worth knowing we had to make our own way back to our hotel from there, but we were told this in advance and it wasn't a problem for us! All in all, highly recommend and thank you Juan!
