Sta.
Cruz to San Marcos

|
We
travel by boat to Sta. Cruz and hike the trail that connects Sta. Cruz with
Jaibalito, Tzununa, and San Marcos.
We return to Panajachel from San
Marcos to Panajachel by boat. This hike
offers great views of the Lake and many
photo opportunities. The trail is primarily on the lakeside slope
with many climbs and descents. The trail is generally good. MODERATE

Climb
Volcan San Pedro
|
|
We
travel by boat to San Pedro La Laguna and climb to the top of the San Pedro
volcano in the morning, returning to San Pedro in the afternoon. The
climb follows fairly easy trails that pass through corn and coffee fields
before becoming steep and very primitive near the summit. There are
great views of the lake and many photo opportunities. We return to
Panajachel by boat. DIFFICULT. $54 per person.

NOTE: Our difficulty ratings are based on our judgment of
what a well-conditioned, young to middle-aged hiker accustomed to hiking
between 1 and 4,000 feet above sea-level would feel. Our lakeside
elevation is 4,500 feet. All hiking is done during the day time at
temperatures normally in the 70s and 80s (Fahrenheit degrees). Lodging
for overnight tours is in simple hotels. All hikes originate and
terminate at Posada Los Encuentros study center in Panajachel at Lake Atitlan. They all include an
orientation on the history, geography and cultures of the lake.
