Living Forest 4x4 + Acatenango Volcano
Unforgettable experience
I had one of the best experiences of my life with Josue. I hiked Acatenango and then continued on to Fuego, something I will never forget. Josue was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed, from hiking sticks to food and constant support along the way. He truly went above and beyond. He quickly became more than just a guide, he felt like a friend, as did the rest of the group. I loved that it was a smaller group because it made the experience feel more personal, warm, and connected. This was definitely one of the hardest hikes of my life, but Josue never gave up on me. He kept encouraging me every step of the way, which made all the difference. I highly recommend this experience for solo travelers or groups, you really do bond and end up making lifelong travel friends. And honestly, I cannot even begin to describe what it feels like to see the volcano in person. It is something you have to experience for yourself.

Santiago Atitlán Quetzal and Cloud Forest Birdwatching Tour
Amazing experience!
Arnoldo was an excellent guide. We had the opportunity to see two quetzals. We saw the Alpha through the telescope and the Beta from just a few meters away. Highly recommended!

Horseback Riding Tour in San Pedro La Laguna
Amazing horseback riding experience in San Pedro
We had a great time. Chico and his crew took care of us, and the horses were very well taken care of and trained. We didn’t know anything about horses, but that didn’t matter. Such a great and special day! Strongly recommend.
