volcan san pedro印象
-
The hike up San Pedro volcano takes you through corn and coffee fields that somehow cling to the steep slopes of the volcano. There are minimal switch-backs on this trail, instead you find yourself hiking straight up the side of the volcano for most of your 3 hour (approx.) ascent. It can be difficult to tell once you reach the top since the caldera is filled with a pristine rainforest and its canopy surpasses the height of the caldera. The view over Lago Atitlan however is not marred by the rainforest and can easily be described as 'stellar.'I suggest hiring a guide!

I did this hike with some friends in October 2013 through Bigfoot Tours. We did the sunrise tour, leaving around 2am. It took around 3.5 hours, starting in town, and it was a beautiful hike up. Our guide was very knowledgable and also had a good sense of humour. We arrived to the summit with some time to spare, luckily, and were able to see the view before the sun rose. Unfortunately, just before the sun peeked over the horizon some clouds rolled in and staid on the summit for a while - we waited around 45 minutes, freezing our butts off, hoping for it to clear and finally gave up.I did a few hikes throughout Central America and this was one of the better ones, with good views on the way up and down and through some beautiful forest. I would recommend this hike to anyone that can handle a 3-4 ascent. The trail itself was in pretty good shape compared to some.

The view of the lake and surrounding volcanos is well worth the 2-3 hour hike up. There are a few places to rest and enjoy the view. You could still do it if you weren't in shape, it would just take a bit longer and you might want some sticks. It is chilly at the top, take a jacket! We went with Bigfoot tours, and were glad to have a guide because there were a few different paths. However we probably wouldn't use this company again, at the end our guide walked us a long way back to his house to get something without communicating to us where we were going, and despite us saying we needed to go back to our hostel. This could have just been a misunderstanding, as our Spanish isn't good, but it was a bit awkward and meant we had to find our way back from up in San Pedro town and added about 2km and 30 mins to our journey.

We are all pretty fit but two of our 4-person group stopped at the viewing point because the steepness of the climb aggravated an ongoing injury for one of us. Those that made it to the top have already posted their reviews but I would add this: don't be put off Volcan Pedro if you are concerned about the hike. It's absolutely worth going only half way because even from there the views are breathtaking.

This is a serious hike but worth every step. I work out twice a week they said it was 3 hours up and 2 hours down, it took me every minute of 3 hours to get to the top, 1:45 to get back down. Amazing view and great exercise, also walk through some coffee fields on the way up. There is only one trail but there are small trails branching off it, for the cheap price of a guide I was glad to have him to say how much further, but many people hiked it without a guide. I took a liter and a half of water and drank it all, also many snacks and sandwich for the top and ate everything you will need the energy! I should have worn suntan lotion but not bad today. There is a bathroom at the start and outhouse near the top. When you get to first resting shelter with a view you are 40% or so there.

The guide was really friendly but the group was too fast for us. The hike was too hard and we didn't know about it. We practice sport everyday but not hiking. We did only a half but it was worth it. The view is pretty. You can see birds, avocado trees and coffee workers. Bring a lot of water.

I'm 59, fit but with dodgy knees. It took me 3 hours up and 2 hours down but it was absolutely worth every step for the views from the summit. My 14 year old son thought it was the best thing he's ever done. Perhaps we were lucky but we had very little cloud so the views were spectacular.I've been to most of the world's big attractions and this is definitely up there!

hiked with a local guide who pointed out the coffee trees and avocado trees and encouraged me to the top. Beautiful view. You can do it!

Volcan San Pedro is one of the iconic images that first comes to mind when you think about Lake Atitlan. Everyone who comes to Panajachel who has a camera will probably take half a dozen or more photos of this volcano. We were fortunate to have had our photo ops with a clear blue sky when we arrived late in the morning at Panajachel. Later in the day the sky got hazy from the smoke and ash that drifted in from Volcan Fuego.
