Overall Ratings

Located in the heart of the Central Volcanic Chain (CVC) just a few minutes away from the beautiful colonial city of Antigua Guatemala and home of the famous El Cucurucho Hill. This site protects important pine - oak and cloud forest patches. It reaches a maximum altitude of 8695 ft. above sea level and is the perfect place to go birding (+ 150 spp) hiking and mountain biking. Visitors can take a refreshing dip into three swiming pools fed with pure mountain water.

Just a short walk from Antigua is the start of a great hike on private property. For anyone wanting to be completely safe this is it. You pay a small fee, 50Q=$6.00USD. There’s an unbelievable elaborately built wooden stair system you can use or follow the loggers route up to the finca “farm.” It’s 10 miles Round Trip from the start, 3,000’ of gain. Starts at 5,000’-8,000’ and the views are amazing! Volcan Agua, Volcan Fuego, Volcan Acatenango plus Antigua and from the summit facing the other side, Guatemala City. Three large pools are fed by natural mountain water. It’s $2.00 USD to swim. Worth every penny! On your way here take a nice stroll passing coffee fields, a small village and Macadamia forests. Two small shops sell water, juice snacks and beer. The villagers are wonderfully friendly. I’ve done this hike three times now in two Weeks preparing for Acatenango. The finca above allows camping you won’t believe the views! And there’s several small houses they rent. Take a head net, mosquitoes aren’t the issue some crazy gnat colony thrives and I ate a few. They love the water in your eyes! You will only be bothered by them halfway up the road to the farm and back.
