More about Volcán San Pedro
El Volcán San Pedro fue declarado parque nacional en el 2006. El volcán está cubierto de bosque tropical y se tarda unas 4-5 horas para llegar a la cumbre por un sendero en muy buen estado. El sendero atraviesa plantaciones de café, campos de maíz y otras zonas agrícolas que eventualmente lo llevan al exuberante bosque verde. El camino puede ser húmedo y lodoso en algunos lugares, sin mencionar lo bastante empinado que es.
Gran parte de la cumbre está cubierta por bosque nuboso, que tiende a bloquear la vista del lago. Sin embargo, hay una ventana pequeña en el lado sur que ofrece una vista hermosa de Santiago y el lago. No es raro estar en medio de las nubes, mientras esta en el volcán, aquí puede estar un poco frio, así que es bueno planear en traer una chaqueta ligera y pantalón. El recorrido para descender es de aproximadamente 2-3 horas.
La caminata es bastante agotadora y no debe ir solo. Comience temprano para evitar el calor y las nubes que se reúnen en la cumbre por la tarde. Se han reportado problemas en el pasado con la seguridad a lo largo del camino, pero hoy en día, hay una mayor presencia policial y los robos son mucho menos frecuentes. Aún así, es una buena idea consultar con los lugareños antes de subir al volcán y siempre ir con un guía.

When we told our family and friend that we were going to Guatemala, their first impression was your kidding. The country is not safe. Let me say we had a fantastic time from beginning to end of our trip. Guatemala has a lot to present and the country has a lot of history and the people are wonderful. I would come back again. In general I would say we had no issues with the Itinerary and the drivers of Anywhere were very professional and most of all kept us safe where ever we went. The hotels that we stayed were very nice and in safe location.
I would recommend this trip to others from the heart! Our tour guide Leonel was just perfect! He’s super passionate about his job and went above and beyond out expectations! We fell in love with Guatemala’s culture, its people and the nature! Unforgettable experience!!
