A Serene Escape Just Hours from Guatemala City
Located only 3-4 hours from Guatemala City, Los Amates Waterfalls offers a refreshing retreat from the urban hustle. Unlike other crowded tourist spots, this enchanting destination remains a hidden gem, giving you the rare opportunity to enjoy its beauty almost entirely to yourself. It’s perfect for a day tour, making it an ideal choice for those with a tight schedule but a big desire for adventure.
What to Expect on Your Journey
The adventure begins with a scenic drive through the lush Guatemalan countryside. As you approach the waterfalls, you’ll be greeted by the natural beauty of Santa Rosa. The journey is relatively smooth, but the last 45 minutes will involve some thrilling off-road driving. Don’t worry… our experienced guides and 4×4 vehicles are fully equipped to handle the rugged terrain, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride.
Once you arrive, you’ll find yourself in a tranquil oasis where the cascading waterfalls create a soothing melody. The crystal-clear pools beneath the falls invite you to take a dip and unwind. The peaceful walks along the trails offer stunning views and the opportunity to connect with nature in its purest form.
Tips for the Perfect Visit:
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Given the off-road aspect of the journey and the natural setting, it’s best to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for hiking. We recommend wearing your swimwear underneath your clothes, as there will be an opportunity to change vehicles when we switch to the 4×4 for the final leg of the journey. This way, you’ll be ready to jump into the refreshing pools as soon as we arrive!
- Bring Essentials: Don’t forget essentials such as sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent.
- Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Bring along some snacks and plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout your adventure. There are few facilities in the area, so it’s best to be prepared.
