Hike to Laguna Chicabal
Embark on an unforgettable excursion on foot to the Volcano and the Chicabal Lagoon, an essential experience during your visit to Xela. This volcano, unique for harboring a lagoon in its crater, is considered sacred by the Maya, who perform ceremonies and connect with their ancestors and deities in this place. Although swimming in the lagoon is not allowed because of its sacred character, you will be able to witness ceremonies and admire the bouquets of flowers left as offerings on the shore. Immerse yourself in the ancient Mayan culture as you explore more than 40 altars scattered around the area, accompanied by a guide that will lead you through natural trails and delight you with breathtaking views of the landscape and exotic birds of the cloud forest. This flexible excursion includes transfers, entry, lunch and an authentic experience in Mayan nature and spirituality.
