Overview
Step into the heart of Santiago Atitlán’s cloud forest on a half-day hike that blends natural wonder with cultural heritage. Following an ancestral trail, you’ll journey through the largest protected park around Lake Atitlán — a sanctuary of endemic flora, fauna, and the nesting grounds of Guatemala’s national bird, el Quetzal. The path leads you deep into the wilderness, where a lush, hidden waterfall awaits, surrounded by untouched forest. Perfect for intermediate hikers, this adventure reveals one of Atitlán’s most treasured and little-known gems.
