Hikes |

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 DIFFICULTY. $36 per
person.

| 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. $34 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. |
