Don’t underestimate the importance of shoes! Properly fitted hiking boots or sports/running shoes provide excellent protection, ankle support, and reinforced durability, making them the ideal choice for challenging terrains and unpredictable weather conditions. On the other hand, shoes that don’t fit properly can cause blisters and discomfort, so be sure to choose the right size.

Before hitting the trail, make sure you have the right gear on your feet. 🥾🌋

Note: We do not rent hiking boots or any kind of shoes. We recommend looking for “pacas” or second-hand shops around Antigua’s market, where you may find new boots as well. 🫶

No worries! At Wicho & Charlie’s, we’re prepared for the rainy season. 🌦️

Guatemala has only two seasons: dry and rainy. Our terrain is packed, creating more resistance to slip, and the humidity is good for your body. Enjoy mystical landscapes with fog in the forest, stay warm and dry in our cabins, and get a rain poncho included in the tour price.



Feel free to adjust any details to better suit your needs!

From March 25th to March 31st, the streets come alive with vibrant processions, showcasing centuries-old traditions and breathtaking displays of faith and culture.

However, with the abundance of processions, some streets may close for hours, creating a mesmerizing yet occasionally challenging experience. 🚧 Embrace the unpredictability of the festivities - while cars may be halted, your journey may lead to unexpected discoveries as you wander through the charming streets. ✨

Remember, groups MIGHT need to walk a few blocks if the streets leading to their destination are blocked. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Short answer: no.
At Wicho & Charlie’s, we prioritize your comfort and safety. That’s why we don’t offer hiking shoes rentals. Here’s why: A poorly fitting shoe can lead to blisters and overall discomfort, especially on rugged trails.

Don’t risk it. Bring your own sport shoes with good grip or get some second hand ones (or new) at the Central Market in Antigua or at the second hand shops around the area.
