Great few treks!

Just got back from Tajumulco, the highest point in Central America!

Had a big group of 20 (plus 5 guides) but everything went smoothly - no problems, no rain and great views!! Here are a couple of pictures from the summit:

Guatemala`s volcanos, silhoutteted by the approaching sun

A fitting reward for a touch climb!
On the way back the guides hopped on top of the chicken bus for an hour, a welcome breath of fresh air!

Hold on tight!
And before that QT ran the 2 day Fuentes Georginas hike. Whilst during the actual hike the weather wasn`t the best, it cleared up magnificently for sunset and we were treated to a spectacular sunrise! A steep three hour descent was followed by some well earnt beers and a nice soak in the hot springs! 

The sunsetting behind Santa Maria

Lago Átitlan, it`s volcanos and those of Antigua highlighted by the rising sun

View from the campsite, with Santa Maria casting her shadow over the Pacific Slope
This hike is fanastic - tought but with amazing views of seemingly all of Guatemala! Not to be missed, sign up today!
