Maya Nose, or Indian Nose is a lookout over Lago Atitlan in Guatemala. The Volcanic lake is rimmed by Mayan Villages and towns

---

Climbing Maya Nose, or Indian's Nose over Lake Atitlan in Guatemala affords incredible views over the lake, and of the surrounding Volcanoes San Pedro and Atitlan, as well as the many towns that border the lakeshore. Tour companies and local guides offer guided sunrise or sunset hikes for backpackers, travelers and tourists to watch the changing light over Lago de Atitlan from the lookout towers high on the volcanic cliffs. It is recommended to have an experienced guide lead the tours, as there is still risk of robbery or assault in the areas surrounding the villages of this Guatemalan destination. The lights of San Juan, San Pedro, and in the distance Cerro de Oro glow along the shoreline as night turns to day.
