Recreational Activities

The tour involves a 15-minute walk to the first canopy which lasts approximately 40 seconds followed by a short walk to a second canopy which lasts about 45 seconds.  A unique experience with an impressive view!  

A professional guide leads a three-hour horseback ride to a lookout with stunning views of the lake, volcanoes, cornfields, and coffee farms. 

Students have the option of using their free day to visit a local hot spring. These beautiful, clear-water pools are warmed by the volcanoes that surround them.

Beautiful, painted steps lead up the side of a mountain for a 30-minute hike to a clearing with the most beautiful views of the lake and volcanoes.  As the sun comes up, fire and smoke can be seen billowing from the volcanoes across the lake. 

Mayan textiles are readily available all around the villages surrounding the lake.  Beautiful woven scarves, cloths, and bags, as well as jewelry and artwork are among the many handmade items available.
