Overview
This half-day hike blends color, culture, and lakeshore trails above Lake Atitlán. The day starts in Panajachel at the main church, where we board a pickup truck for the ride to Santa Catarina Palopó. From there, we climb into the hills above the village, passing terraced fields, forested slopes, and viewpoints over Lake Atitlán, before descending into San Antonio Palopó, a village known for its ceramics and steep lakeside setting. Along the way, the route blends culture, nature, and highland views in one half-day outing.

Why Ati Adventures

We craft experiences that are as meaningful as they are thrilling. Whether you're summiting a volcano or hiking through ancestral forests, our trips are curated to spark curiosity, reflection, and respect for the land.
Conservation Through Regenerative Travel
See Why
We believe adventure should give back. Every ATI tour directly supports the protection of Atitlán’s natural parks, ecosystems, and watersheds. We plant trees, partner with municipalities and NGOs, and host community events that invite locals to explore their own landscapes — ensuring tourism restores, not depletes, this fragile region.
Locally Owned & Community Powered
