과테말라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 호수

Currently the view is a bit overgrown, but nice.

We had a perfectly organized hike with 4 super friendly guides. The food was delicious and plentiful. A lot of the necessary equipment can be borrowed from Quetzaltrekkers for free. The Mayan sauna Temazcal on the first evening is great.

The island is located in Lake Petén Itzá, which, with an area of 99 km², is the third largest in Guatemala. At least 27 Mayan sites are located around the lake.

Pretty little island, connected to the mainland by a bridge. Lots of nice cafes and restaurants; plenty of opportunities for leisure activities (by boat, kayak), etc.

Flores is not only worth a stay because of the Tikal visit. It's just a beautiful quaint relaxed place to take a break. There are many nice restaurants and evening hustle and bustle on the village square with basketball court. You can jump into the warm water from the jetties or at Playa San Miguel.

Indian Nose is the mountain with the distinctive profile of a sleeping Mayan chief. The best (and also safest!) way to get here is to book a tour. The shuttle bus leaves at 4 a.m. in the morning. Then you hike with a guide for 30 minutes to the tip of the nose (bring a headlamp with you). At the top you can watch the sun rise over a small breakfast and then it's back down. You are back at 7.30 a.m. Costs about 100 quetzales.

Beautiful path along the lake Atitlan (Santa Cruz to Tzununa). You can see beautiful big and little birds. Its an easy path. From Tzununa to San Marcos you have the option to take a tuk tuk since this is the less beautiful part of the walk.

If you want to hike on your own "in a safe environment", this is the place for you. Admission for non-locals 40 quetzales. Getting lost is almost impossible if you don't leave the hiking trail. You shouldn't do that either, you can also meet tarantulas here from time to time! You have a bit of a jungle feeling and are rewarded with great views at the Miradors. At the end, the lake invites you to swim.
