Hike-Bike-Swim… the name says it all! This great half day tour begins with a morning hike through the cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala. The trek continues as we leave the city limits and pass through old ruins and some of the surrounding villages and forests in the hills above Antigua. After roughly 2 hours of hiking we take a break at a mountain lodge for refreshments. Next we meet the bikes and begin the swooping downhill bike ride. After about 20 minutes we arrive at the spring fed swimming pools where we take a refreshing swim and relax in the sun. This is a fun tour for the whole family.
TRIP HIGHLIGHT:
Emerging from the forest path to panoramic views of the Antigua valley and Agua, Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes.
