Amazingly beautiful hike with great guide - Salvador was an amazing guide. He provided amazing information about the birds and land and made sure we were safe and happy the whole time. He speaks both English and Spanish so no need to worry. This hike was absolutely incredible and I would recommend to anyone who is ready for a bit of a challenge

Amazing guide, spectacular views, newly engaged couple. - We did the overnight hike, camping on the summit, and waking up for sunrise. Salvador was amazing - really helpful for the hike, went at a good pace and then we had a amazing fire and hot drink at night. We even went to the peak to check out fuegoin the distance erupting. The hike is really tough, especially with camping gear, and so this was a perfect end to a tough climb. Couldn't recommend Salvador enough. And the morning sunrise was so special that I decided to propose to my girlfriend :)

Great overnight trekking at volcan atitlan august 2021 - Overnight hike to volcan atitlan! Salvador is super knowledgeable about plants and birds, geology, and all the trails. Seems like he knows everyone in the region...popular dude! The hike was challenging, 4 hours up to our camp spot, then a 4 am summit hike (1.5 hrs) for epic views of acatenango, Fuego, toliman, the lake, and even the Pacific Ocean. Highly recommend the overnight experience as opposed to the one day option...if the weather is clear you can even camp at the summit on the edge of the crater...no trees, but a nice flat camp spot on gravel, with lots of hot vents to warm you up. Bring water, nothing to filter on the way up. As of summer 2021 San Pedro trekking is still dangerous due to trailside robberies...hiking volcano atitlan is a great option...safer!

Hikes & Birds - Okay FIRST OF ALL, Salvador is the best guide we’ve had out of four trips here. The hike was either incredibly hard or we were very out of shape 😅 but he worked with us to still have an amazing time. We ended up also birdwatching and found many Quetzales. It was a beautiful time. He’s super knowledgeable, very kind, speaks English/Spanish, and even will offer you a raincoat if you tell him ahead of time! :) I would recommend this hike if you’re a cross fitter or really in to long hikes, but if recommended Salvador taking you anywhere whether you are traveling alone as a female, or this is your first time in Guatemala, or you’re in a family with kids, or a business trip, or literally whatever- he’s the guy!! We felt safe and taken care of the entire day. We can’t wait to come back and see more with him next year and the years to come.

Very well organized and safe Tour with spectacular views! - The tour to Volcan Atitlan is highly recommended! Salvador made us feeling safe and guided us to the top. Private transfer was included.
The hike is tough... But Salvador adjusts the speed of the hike.
He also points attention to birds and plants, which makes the tour very interesting! I recommend Salvador as the guide.
