Detailed Description
The trail traverses the ridge to a tiny pueblo hidden away on the mountainside. The views back towards the Antigua valley and its three towering volcanoes are magnificent as the entire sweep of the valley -from the peak of Agua Volcano to the Acatenango and Fuego complex- frame the vista.
From there the trail drops down into a working coffee finca and then climbs into another lively mountain village. Another hour on beautiful contouring valley walls and then the trail takes you back into Antigua.
