Breakfast with a view!
Climb high above the Xela Valley to the summit of Volcán Santa Maria. Standing at 3,772m, this striking stratovolcano offers spectacular views of the unique volcanic landscapes of the Guatemalan Highlands.
Looking for a fun hike to fill your morning in Xela? Why not enjoy breakfast at the lookout point of one of Guatemala’s most active volcanoes: Santiaguito.
This gradual uphill hike will take you through local farm fields and pine forest as we circumnavigate the imposing Santa Maria volcano to its active vent complex. Our early start should allow us to beat the clouds and witness explosive eruptions while we enjoy breakfast. This is a half-day, moderately easy hike; tours return to Xela around midday.
Please contact if you have any questions or aren’t sure if this hike is right for you!
