The view you get from the entrance of Altamira Park is stunning; the cost is very affordable, and I arrived around 7 AM when it was empty, which gave me plenty of time to explore and take photos. Highly recommended
Gracias por tu comentario.
due to a hurricane, I had to move my trip a week back not only they accommodate me via WhatsApp they stay in constant contact with me throughout the trip to make sure I arrived to Guatemala safe. they pick me up all the way in Guatemala city and made me and My Husband feel like Shannon the whole entire day, talking to us about Guatemalan culture and politics. Carolina is incredible guy. He takes amazing pictures and accommodates the guest as of the park were hers. She knows how to medicate each park flawlessly before you start. She also adjust some preferences. I felt first class the whole day with her.
Thank you for your review. Is a pleasure.
The ride was a good the guide was good, but the ride was not private, we paid for the private ride but it was shared with a group of 5 other people
Thank you for your review. Just let you know we don't do private tours to hobbitenango. Please read very well descriptions.
Excellent experience!! Only Tour from Antigua that includes all 3 places. Great opportunity to take incredible photos and enjoy the views and landscapes. Our guide Carolina along with our driver Victor made sure we had a wonderful day, detailed explanations of all the places and gave us the time we needed to take photos, explore the area at our pace and have coffee and lunch. Both Hoobitenango and Altamira are magical places with beautiful and well-maintained trails. We were 4 people and all 4 of us 100% agreed that this was a great experience that cannot be missed on a trip to Guatemala - We recommend it 100%.
Muchas gracias por su apreciación es un placer.
We booked a private tour thru Viator, and had the pleasure of spending an amazing day with our awesome guide Nayely. Ripped straight from the pages of Tolkien, what a spectacular and unexpected gem of a destination high in the mountains ⛰️ above the city of Antigua. Fashioned after The Shire of Lord of the Rings lore, it was so much more. The views, unrivaled. The rope swing, exhilarating. The air was fresh, but thin. Exotic flowers 🌸& birds 🦜 abound, and the sound of silence a welcome change. We even tried our hand at archery 🏹 No need to travel to New Zealand to feel like you’re in Middle Earth, epic !
Thank you Aaron I transfer your great experience to her.
Carolina was great. There was a language barrier but even so, she helped me with my Spanish and I helped her with English. There were no issues when it came to communicating. Such a beautiful experience and amazing photos. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much. But you know this tour is publish in spanish, The reazon girls like girls.
Our guide was Carolina (Spanish speaking only) and she was very warm and friendly. Our two year old fell asleep at the end of the tour, and she helped carry him around for us. Hobbitenango and Altamira have a lot of walking with a lot of stairs so keep that in mind depending on your activity level. Our kids are 4 and 2 years old and we had to carry them a lot while getting around. Not ideal, but we really wanted to check this out (still worth it). Hobbitenango was very misty and cloudy with limited views, but still really cool to experience. Altamira was so sunny and clear and breathtaking.
Thank you for your review and the recommendatios given. we always do that in the starting time.
My day trip to Hobbitenango was AMAZING!!! It’s such an awe inspiring place, with tons of great views that you will never get tired of looking at. Carolina was my guide (ask for her) She was so patient with me, and the other lady that was also on the trip. Carolina took such amazing photos of me. Literally, just hand her your phone, and she works magic!!! Be prepared for a lot of walking, but you can go at your own pace and take breaks. This was the highlight of my trip to Guatemala (Antigua) and I would absolutely book it again.
Thank you Latissue, was a pleasure to give you special day.
Nelson and Carolina picked me up from my hotel on time and it was a smooth ride to our destination. Carolina was an amazing tour guide. She made sure that I had plenty pictures taken. It was a good day! Thank you again.
Thank you for your review. Was my pleasure.
I had such a beautiful day, all thanks to Carolina. I know her English is minimal but she was extremely patient with me and make sure that I went to all the pretty view sites. Thanks for capturing all these great photos of me. I was able to see all the hands in both parks.
Thank you Janice. You were great visitor.
