The 4 days path is very challenging but totally worth the effort. Our american tour guides Gia and Ryan were so caring and highly qualified, despite their very young age!!! They helped us in every unecpected event may happen. We've had some lovely time together hiking, chatting, having pic-nics and listening together to the stories from the local people about their lives, the history of Guatemala and the maya culture. The only thing to improve about this trekking is the setting up of the backpack... because it's very heavy imo! Highly suggested experience!!!.

Our guides were nothing short of amazing, I really liked our group and everything was well organised. Temazcal was a lovely experience, scenery was breathtaking and varied every day, and the hike was appropriately challenging. I whole-heartedly recommend hiking with Quetzaltrekkers if you are into hiking at all. Type 2 fun that is totally worth your money. Only downside was that I slept very poorly the first night as the house we stayed was a bit cool and I did not have a lot of layers with me - so bring something warm for the nights if you tend to run cold at all!

The first hour can be a bit challenging if you're not acclimated to the altitude, so make sure to bring lots of water. Thanks Quetzaltrekkers for making my first full day in Xela so fantastic!

Landschaftlich stark, aber vor allem menschlich eine Erfahrung, die hängen bleibt. Unsere Guides Alex und Sam waren zwar die Küken der Gruppe, haben aber abgeliefert wie alte Hasen. Man hatte durchgehend das Gefühl, mit Leuten unterwegs zu sein, die das Land wirklich verstehen. Besonders stark: die Einblicke in das Leben der Familien, bei denen wir übernachtet haben. Die Geschichten der verschiedenen Familien wurden nicht einfach runtererzählt, sondern so persönlich und ehrlich vermittelt, dass sie uns teilweise echt mitgenommen haben. Gleichzeitig wurde es nie trocken. Irgendwo zwischen steilen Anstiegen und langen Tagesetappen wurden auch die wirklich „wichtigen“ Fragen des Lebens geklärt: Sam zum Beispiel glaub, dass das größte Tier, dass er im Kampf besiegen könnte ein Biber ist, während Alex ernsthaft glaubt, er könnte es mit 200 Hühnern gleichzeitig aufnehmen. Kann man so stehen lassen. All in all war es eine der besten Erfahrungen, die wir auf unseren Reisen in verschiedene Länder je gemacht haben.

The hike itself is pretty tough (in my opinion), but there are plenty stops, amazing food, nice homestays and beautiful views that make it completely worth it. Our guides Dama, Caty and William were great and we got to learn a lot about the culture and traditions in the area!

Und was soll ich sagen, meine Erwartungen wurden nochmals übertroffen. Die Organisation, das Team, die Gruppe, der Trail, die Homestays und das Essen einfach so gut! Ich würde es ohne zu überlegen direkt weiterempfehlen. Der Hike ist anstrengend und teilweise auch Kräftezehrend, aber es werden genügend Pausen gemacht und auf jeden individuellen eingegangen. Wenn man ein Outdoorfan ist und gerne Laufen oder Wandern geht, dann ist das auf jeden Fall was für euch!

The views were amazing, the climbing was tough, the temascal hot and the bees were angry, but the guides made it all very capable and fun. Cannot recommend it enough!

We had an awesome group, the food was fantastic, the guides were exceptional, and the campsite was great. I will be booking another multi day hike with Quetzaltrekkers for next week!
