Wake up early to catch a view of one of the world´s most active volcanoes - Santiaguito - from this mirador on the side of Santa Maria. Starting only half an hour´s bus ride outside of Xela, this is one of the shortest dayhikes we offer. On the hike, we pass through cloud forests and see spectacular views of Xela. Compared to our other hikes, this is a relatively easy one and takes about 2 to 3 hours each way.

Price includes: guides, equipment, breakfast, snacks, and water.

When: Though this is not a regularly scheduled hike, it can generally be run any day of week provided we have a guide available. For details, check out our online schedule or contact us.
