Day Trips in Western Highlands

Take your trip in Guatemala to new heights during this 9-hour ascent of San Pedro Volcano. Walk among the unique cloud forest environment, spotting exotic birds as you climb, eventually reaching the summit of this 9,900-foot (3,000-meter) summit. From this dramatic vantage point you'll experience dramatic views of beautiful Lake Atitlan (on clear days, maybe even the Pacific Ocean) and a newfound sense of euphoria from the completion of this dramatic climb. Your climb also an admission fee and round-trip hotel transport.

Enjoy stunning views of Lake Atitlan and the surrounding villages during this flexible-length hike to the top San Pedro Volcano. After making a boat transfer to the hike starting point, you'll begin your ascent of this beautiful volcano, climbing for the next 3 hours to reach its 9,900-foot (3,020-meter) peak. Soak up the well-deserved views of iconic Lake Atitlan, and idyllic Mayan villages down below, before returning to earth to finish your trip. This San Pedro volcano hike includes a guide, entrance fees and boat transfer to your start point.

The gem of Guatemala, Lake Atitlan is a crater lake surrounded by volcanoes and a living hub of Mayan cultures. Visiting on a day trip from Guatemala City simplifies transportation to this highland destination and lets you see the best of the lake in just a day - a difficult feat to accomplish on your own. This tour includes stops at top Lake Atitlan sites including the Maximon shrine and the busy town of Panajachel.
