What an amazing hike! - If you want to get off the road of the usual and embark on a great hike with ups and downs to get to a secret waterfall, then this tour is for you. The adventure started when Mr. Marlon picked us up to take us to Los Tarrales, a wonderful natural reserve where we met our tour guide who took us hiking, watching birds and exotic landscapes, and yes swimming in the waterfalls. On our way back, we stopped in a restaurant that serves traditional delicious local cuisine. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves challenging hikes with a great scenery and company.

A birders paradise! - A wonderful trip! The driver, tour guide, and the actual tour all were above our expectations. We saw 50 species of birds and enjoys the beautiful Guatemalan countryside. An easy walk with great views of nature.

Very nice trip to Lake Atitlan - The driver Marlon who picked us up from the hotel was very friendly and knowledgeable. We started the trip with the views of Fuego volcano puffing ashes in every 5 minutes or so on our drive to the reserve. There we met another guide to take us for the bird watching tour. We barely saw 5-6 birds on the tour, but the guide was very nice and explained about the rainforest and the eco-system there. At the end of our walk, we reached a small waterfall. From the birdwatching perspective, the tour was disappointing. We left to Toliman island around noon, after birdwatching. We had lunch at the Toliman hotel, which offered one of the best seafood options. We ended up taking dinner also togo from Toliman hotel. We spent some time walking on the shores of Lake Atitlan there. The hotel Toliman's backside gate opens to Lake Atitlan. Beautiful views of the lake from the hotel and the shore. Around 2.30pm, we started out trip back to the hotel and reached Antigua by 4.30pm.
