El Pico de Cielo, is one of the most scenic hikes in Lake Atitlan. Your day starts from Santa Cruz la Laguna, through several small trails into coffee, avocado plantation and the Pumpatin Valley. As we continue through the canyon it opens up into a wide panoramic view of Lake Atitlan. The hike last 2.5hrs hike up. and 1.5hrs down. The hike is challenging and we require that every hiker should be in good physical condition and of course with some hiking experience. At the summit you will see the impressive caldera of Lake Atitlan. At the top you will have some great time for taking photos and even a nice picnic lunch (upon request) otherwise packed lunch or snacks is required for your day out.
At the end of the tour, we descent to the starting point or you can request for a short 45minutes adventure on the back of a pick up truck! Optional.
