Don’t waste your money on a guide for Indian Nose hike, this is a really fun 1.5 hour hike you should do yourself. We arrived at trailhead at 4:30am (although would recommend getting there at 4:00am) and did not need to pay the G30pp entry fee which is applicable during day. At the top we had to pay G50pp to get to the viewpoint. At the trailhead we were greeted by a friendly wild dog who literally led us the whole way to the top which was cool (others said they had the same experience with a dog). Bring a torch, paths were easy to follow (recommend following the trail on AllTrails app) and pack some breakfast / thermas of coffee to enjoy at the top during sunrise - happy days! Don’t be scared off by the blogs which say this hike isn’t safe (from people who haven’t actually done the trail personally). We walked 15min from our accommodation to the trailhead and felt completely safe (barely saw anyone).

Ok if you are hiking up to the Indian Nose Viewpoint from here be warned it is extremely difficult with almost 4km of incline. The track is not maintained at all and there are no signs anywhere where you come to the junction points. Best to download maps.me before you go. We paid 30q per person to enter and guess what!!!!!!When we reached the Indian Nose we were asked to pay another 50q per person. So the 30q you initially pay at the entrance does not allow entry to the Indian nose. It took us 4 hours to reach the top and come down to the little town of Santa Clara with multiple stops.

Beautiful views. About 15-30 minute walk up depending on your rest breaks. I went midday but was still able to find some shady parts on the trail. Unlike a review mentioned before me, I spoke Spanish, they asked me where I was from, and when I replied the US they asked me to pay 30Q to go up. Still pretty cheap and worth the views. I suggest bringing water and a hat or you can buy while there. They also had a band playing when I was there, really nice and relaxing. Plenty of vendors too with water or snacks along the way and at the top.

The location of Mirador is in San Juan La Laguna, we were in Panajachel, Solola we crossed the lake in a boat to get over there, Amazing pueblito , Lots of murals, the tourist guide and driver of the tuk- tuk very Helpful and knowledgeable ,to climb into the mirador up and stiff 675 meters up little challenging to myself and my wife but we made it. Love it . I rang the bell at the top, good small hiking .

Wow! Worth it, do it. Takes about 15 minutes to get to the top and there are drinks and bathrooms and shops your whole way up. Barely anyone there when we went on a weekday evening. Views are stunning. Painted panoramic deck with 360 views. Hawks flying above head. Make sure to stop by Táconvos (tacos y bebidas) on your way in or out for the best tacos in the world. Right around the corner from entrance.

Beautiful trail that is uphill all the way yet it is not a long walk. At the top and along the way little shops sell various drinks, food, hats, clothing, and souvenirs. The top offers an amazing view of the lake and the surrounding towns, mountains and volcanoes. The hike’s price is Q30 per person. It takes about 20 minutes to come up. Highly recommend.
