By hiking with this company you support a local school and the local communities. I truly enjoyed the Xela-Lago trek, guided by the amazing Jake, Kels and Britt. The guides are friendly, enthusiastic, helpfull and very knowledgeable. They are voluntering, but are real pro's at what they do. This trek was clearly well organized and thought out and the breaks were well spaced. Amazing views, a little challenging but not too much soo, nobody was left behind, there was more than enough tasty food, nobody was left behind, and the nights in the tamazcal en around the fireplace where also a great experience. The guides took great care of us and cooked some of our meals. Any equipment you might need like sleepingbags, warm clothes and backpacks can be borrowed free of charge, for some stuff like hikingpoles you have to give a small deposit. This trek gives you a good taste of the mayan highlands and the people living. We had a super awesome, nice sociable group that contributed to a great hike, but the guides also helped creating this good atmosphere in the group. Would definitely recommend hiking on of the QT hikes when you're in Guatemala! I would have joined one of the other hikes if I would have had the time ;)
