santa maria volcano印象

I went with Quetzal Tours (not trekkers) that have local guides and local knowledge. To the lookout that is a must to be able to see anything before it gets cloudy, at least was that my experience since the next four groups came too late.

Bring rain ponchos and walking sticks , lots of water and good hiking boots. The view is often obscured by clouds.

Took 7 hour hike backpacking with full equipment (tent, sleeping bag, etc) to spend the night on the summit, traveled with K'ashem a mountaineering school based in Guatemala City, they have the best guides and most experience when it comes to extreme adventures.

I knew this would be a challenge, since I'm 65 and sometimes wake up with tired legs, knees and hips, but it was worth every step I took. Watching the sun come up on a beautifully clear sky, surrounded on all sides by magnificent views, was a highlight of my trip. This was a great place to sit and quietly meditate on the the same beauty that has been enjoyed by mankind over the ages.

We went up with a small police escorte due to security issues, but I'm sure that you'd be fine on your own as well. Police does it for a small tip and it's part of their job, so might just as well bring them if you feel unsafe.Trek up is around 3-4 hours and when you reach the top you'll have great views of surrounding volcanoes (as far as Antigua), you'll see all of Xela, you can look directly into a volcano that erupts every 20 minutes and if it's a clear day you can also see the ocean.All up definitely worth the hike. It can be done without a guide, but if you do bring a guide, don't pay more than 200Q.

We went with Quetzal tours. First time I have been on a hike with police accompaniment.Amazing views of all the volcanoes in the vicinity.

A tough hike but well worth it. I did the full moon hike with Quetzaltrekkers and it was sweet. A few people suffered from the altitude and it being an all nighter, but this was almost forgotten with the sunrise and the eruptions from Santiaguito. Do it!

We did this hike with Monte Verde Tours (Ask for Carlos to be your guide! He's amazing!!). The hike was meant to run from 5am - 1pm. The hike itself, is not hard, but is challenging. We had a small group which was good as one of us wasn't feeling well so we took our time to the top. I highly recommend that you hike up at a slow pace, if you want to break a record, go right ahead, but I think the climb should go slower so you can enjoy some of the views one the way up as well as the amazing views from the top. As we took our time heading up and down, we didn't return until 2:30.

We did the Full Moon hike with Quetzaltrekkers. This was a tough adventure, but worth every step to be at the top for sunrise!

This hike was probably one of the most extreme I did. But also with the nicest view. It is advisable to find a local to go with you up, so that you don't have to pay an exorbant amount to tour operators. It is a pretty straight forward climb, with only 1 moment where you can go wrong. You do need to have some preservering, as it is a long, long, long way up (4-5 hours is not an exception). But the view is totally worth it!
