The Indian Nose is the mountain on the northwest shore of Lake Atitlan. Also called Rupalaj K’istalin, this  2550 meters tall mountain presents one of the most rewarding climbs of Lake Atitlan. In addition to viewing the sunrise over a chain of volcanoes and then onto the pristine waters, this climb provides great views over the San Juan and San Pedro la Laguana villages.

Had a great time! The tour was extremely organized, with on-time pick up from my hotel in Antigua directly to Lake Atitlan, wth a boat to take us between the various villages. Freddy was an awesome tour guide! And our driver was also very nice - we experienced hale on the way back to the hotel and he made sure we were safely taken care of.

Victor was great and provided a wonderful experience start to finish. He was right on time, got us to the summit before sunrise so we didn’t miss anything and was patient with us while we enjoyed the view. Highly recommend Victor for this activity!

Very good private tour, spanish guide Elena was amazing, many activities! Very recommended
