The tour will start very early in the morning as the purpose is to see the sunrise at the peak of the Indian Nose. We`ll pick you up at the lobby of your hotel in either of these three towns: San Pedro, San Juan, or San Marcos. We´ll start our hike up to the highest point of the peak, "the nose". The pick-up time will be at 4:00 am.
The hike up will take us 40 minutes approximately. This is one of the shortest hikes. On the way to the top, we´ll see coffee and corn plantations. Atitlan´s Coffee is one of the best in Guatemala and is usually exported to other countries in Europe and the United States. Once we get to the Summit imagine yourself sitting in the grass, watching the sunrise gradually lighting up the villages that surround the lake. It is a show without a doubt. After getting down from the peak, we`ll go to San Marcos La Laguna Town to have breakfast and continue having fun with our next activity.
After taking breakfast we`ll go to Cerro Tzankujil Nature Reserve. This place is very pacific and full of beauty. You`ll be able to relax here after the hike to the Indian Nose. This Nature Reserve holds a viewpoint to appreciate the beautifulness of the Lake and one of its volcanos. There is a platform where you`ll have the chance to cliff diving in the crystal-clear waters and have lots of fun. This is the best way to end up your adventurous day!
