    Sunrise + waterfall

    We started early to reach to see the sunrise over the mountain with a small campfire + coffee of the Camotal estate that was delicious, the spectacular sunrise ✨ then we continued on the way to the waterfall that does not have much water but the place is beautiful, surrounded by nature, little animals and very uncrowded, it was just us at all times, which makes it a unique experience! The guys are very cool, perfect to do the tour alone, it is also ideal as a couple or group, I highly recommend it 🙌

    Nice excursion

    The excursion was a very good experience, a good alternative activity different to do in the surroundings of the beautiful city of Antigua. The people who organized the tour know the area a lot so it is great to talk with them to learn a little while enjoying a good hike. The walk is very nice and pleasant to do and the guides are very friendly. I recommend 100%:)

    Very good experience!

    I loved the walk. We leave very early at night but it is worth it because the sunrise looks very beautiful from the point of view. Then enjoy a hike in the woods to a beautiful waterfall. And all this with good company. 100% recommend it!

    A great tour

    It was an amazing experience, being able to connect with nature, I just can’t describe how rewarding it was. The guide took us from the starting point always very friendly, we used flashlights and the sky was starry, when we reached the top, we made a campfire and prepared hot chocolate waiting for the sunrise, then we went down to the waterfall. I highly recommend this tour because I was able to disconnect from the routine and the very charismatic guide as well, told us stories of the villages and gave us an introduction to the culture. I'd just do it again!

    A super experience!

    We traveled to San Antonio, a town within walking distance of Antigua, to visit Kevin, who gave us a tour of his family coffee farm. We had a great time. Throughout the day we discovered the secrets of coffee and met a passionate and tender person. We recommend everyone to come and meet this small village rich in culture. Once again, thank you very much to Kevin for having such a great time! 😁

    Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.

    How much does Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.

    Is Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antigua?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antigua?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antigua?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Guide. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 134 listed pickup locations in and around Antigua. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Sunrise and Waterfall Hike in Santiago Zamora offered in?

    +

    It runs in Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
