Lake Atitlan's famous Indian Nose

A short half day trip up to the Indians Nose, aptly named as the profile of the mountains resemble that of a sleeping Indian......

    We  started from San Pedro via San Juan, Pablo and Marcos, taking with us Matt, Geologist and Guide, who regaled us all with the very interesting history of the Lake, mountains and surrounding volcanoes. 10 of us went up, 5 people from Santa Cruz, the rest passing through San Pedro... A fine time had by all... and not too strenuous as we took the back way up via Santa Clara, beautiful scenery up the switchbacks and only a half an hour walk to the summit of the Nose.
