The Xela to Lake Atitlan hike is a phenomenal multi-day trek through the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Also known as the Quetzaltenango to Lake Atitlan hike (Quetzaltenango and Xela are the same place and are used interchangeably), this brilliant three day trek is a lesser known hiking expedition in Guatemala. Along the trail, you’ll explore remote villages, enjoy sweeping vistas of mountain ranges and finish it all with a breathtaking sunrise during the India Nose hike in Lake Atitlan.
