El Mirador Volcan Santiaguito

After approximately 4 hours of walking, the view is from the south flank of the volcano Santa Maria is very impressive. Unique flora and fauna make this place a little walk different than typical routes around this volcano. We depart from Quetzaltenango, about 30 minutes by car to the beginning of the hike. The walk down returns the starting place where you can enjoy a relaxing sauna bath at the Eco Lodge Las Cumbres. There are places to camp if desired.
