You will be picked up in the morning at your hotel in Veracruz or Boca del Rio by one of our local bilingual (English/Spanish) guides and will travel approximately 3 hours to the town of Catemaco. Your guide will lead you on a walking tour of the central downtown area, including a visit to the Church of the Virgin Carmen.

Then you will continue your journey on the scenic road that circles Lake Catemaco, stopping to take photos along the way. On the far side of the lake you will meet up with a local guide who will be waiting for your group. He will then lead you on an informative 3 hour (approx.) hike through the thick natural rain forest jungle. There is a man-made path in which to walk on. He will teach you about some of the plants and trees you will pass on your hike; especially in regards to some of their healing properties. Along the way, you will pass several waterfalls and are welcome to stop to swim and play in the clear refreshing pool found below each one. After the hike, you will enjoy a nice homemade lunch at the home of one of the local villagers (included).

Later, you will travel back to Catemaco where you will embark on a boat ride in Lake Catemaco to observe some fantastic panoramic views. You will also get great up-close views of tropical birds and will try to spot holler and spider monkeys found on some of the small islands in the lake.

Finally, your tour guide will take you back to your hotel in the city of Veracruz or Boca del Rio.
