    Loop to the Indian Nose from San Juan. Entering the park costs 30 quetzals, the actual trail starts close to the Mirador Kaqasiiwaan, which I visited some days before so I didn’t stop there. The trail is very clear but t...

    Terrific easy hike from the Parque all the way down to San Juan, although there is an option to cut it shorter and take public transport back down to the lake from Santa Clara. It is about 2 hours or less to that point. ...
