The ride plummets nearly 2,300 m on a wicked fun mix of terrain. After our shuttle out from the bottom on the backside of the lake we will finish the epic day with one more 400 m drop down to the lakeshore.

Two amazing shuttle runs on the eastern rim of Lake Atitlan! Both feature centuries old Mayan trade routes that once connected two of the major Atitlan villages with those of the eastern part of the country. La Santa Cat as it is known because it finishes in the village of Santa Catarina Palopo contours above the lake before it plummets down an a twisty urban staircase to the lake. The San Antonia Maya trail is arguably the oldest of all the footpaths into the Atitlan basin. It is also one of the most technical. Centuries of foot traffic have worn steps into the rock creating an almost Inca trail feel as you drop 400+ meters to the lake.
