I’ve spent the past six years living and adventuring around Lake Atitlán—hiking its volcanoes, paddling its waters, and connecting deeply with the surrounding villages. Whether you’re planning to summit Volcán Atitlán, kayak from Santa Cruz to Santiago, or explore local trails around San Juan and Santa Catarina, I know the ins and outs of this place and can help you plan a meaningful and beautiful experience rooted in local knowledge.
Hi, I’m Misty! I didn’t grow up hiking or traveling, but something in me always craved movement, curiosity, and nature. It wasn’t until my early 20s—and especially after moving to Guatemala—that I truly fell in love with the outdoors.
Here, surrounded by volcanoes, lakes, and trails woven into daily life, I’ve come to experience nature not as a backdrop, but as a reset button. It’s where I feel most alive, most grounded, and most in awe. I’ve spent the last six years planning and leading community hikes, volcano treks, and women’s outdoor experiences around Lake Atitlán, helping others feel connected, confident, and curious along the way.
