This trip is perfect for women in good physical condition who want an active vacation exploring Guatemala. We'll get warmed up with a day hike on Pacaya Volcano before embarking on our overnight volcano trek. During the trek our miles will range from 7 - 9.3 miles per day, keeping us at elevations between 6,000 and 9,000 feet above sea level. We leave camp each morning around 8:30am, and usually arrive to our next camp by 4pm each afternoon. This trip is rated a 4 as it involves strenuous hiking, carrying daypacks (with water, snacks and rain layers), and significant elevation gain and loss. Rating: 1 2 3 [4] 5
This adventure focuses on hiking and trekking with a daypack while our luggage is shuttled to our next glamping spot. Our mileage ranges between 6-8.5 miles per day at elevation (5,000-9,000 feet above sea level) with significant inclines and declines. We finish the trip with a lake kayaking tour (no experience necessary) and ziplining.
We'll spend our first two nights in a modern hotel in Antigua Hotel Eterna Primavera. During the trek we will be in 10' x 14' spacious canvas tents that fit up to two queen-size inflatable mattresses along with a shared bedside table. The comforters are goose-down and we will be provided hot water bottles to ensure a warm and cozy night’s sleep. There is a "Trek Truck" that accompanies us at each camp that has a toilet, sink and hot water shower. While at Lake Atitlan, we will stay in the incredible La Casa del Mundo. Accessible only by boat or by foot, this hotel is an eco-friendly paradise unlike any other.
