San Agustin Bike Park

Ecological park

👍 Ok, first of all the entrance is through a private street right next to the exit from the highway. After reaching that door you have to drive about 2-3 kms more inside the private rural street until you find the entrance to the parking lot (which is free). Inside you will find the following: Showe...

Finca El Amate

Nature preserve

😠 *Not friendly for international tourists* This place is not friendly for international tourists. I went with a friend of mine who is from Israel and we got to pay Q150 quetzales (more than $20) for staying there a couple of hours. It doesn't include anything else, just the chance to walk there. The...

Atitlán Natural Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 Q80 for the basic entrance which includes the paths, bridges, butterfly dome, waterfall, beach. I think it's well worth it and a very beautiful area! The only downside is there's a lot of trash around the river and at the base of the waterfall, it would be great if that could be better maintained.

Reserva Natural Privada Manchon Guamuchal

Nature preserve

👍👍 El Manchón Guamuchal is a little crowded and paradisiacal beach. The problem for travelers is that there is not enough hotel infrastructure and you have to carry everything.
