Hiking in the mountains around Xela is a popular activity and some visitors may want to climb Santa Maria

Volcano, for breathtaking views of Xela, the Pacific coast and Santiaguito, an active volcano on Santa Maria's southern flank. An easy day hike from the nearby town of San Martin Sacatepequez (also known as Chile Verde) leads to a crater lake atop Chicabal Volcano, a sacred spot for the Maya who live nearby.
