A great experience!

5.00We made the 3-day trek from Nebaj to Todo Santos, a great experience by its paths, landscapes and exchanges with local people.The first day is long and difficult. If it were to be done again, we would do its formula in 4 days to cut the first day in half with the big advantage of spending one more night at home and with more time to enjoy it in the afternoons. The last day is the climb to the top of the Torre for sunrise with a crazy view of the entire Guatemala volcano chain, from fuego to Tajamulco. Many thanks to our guide Jacinto and his agency Nebaj tours (only local guides). It adapts to customers, our wishes / abilities and most importantly, it allows us to interact with locals
Fantastic cultural experience and hike for family with superb guide

5.00We took a five day hiking trip with children ages 7, 8 and 10. What an extraordinary experience! The Communities we visited were welcoming, the terrain was beautiful and our guide Salvador was both highly professional and a charming, engaging person to be with. I could not recommend this more highly, including with children.
