Comments and Ratings for Cerro Chato Hike

"Despite the fact that most of the hike was completed in the rain we had a good time and got lots of information from our very knowledgeable guide - again just us and him. A good day." Apr 2011

"This was one of my favorite tours. I love to hike, exercise, and get sweaty. Cerro chato was very challenging, offered TREMENDOUS views, and phenomenal photo opportunities. I LOVED swimming in the lagoon....how often can someone say that they swam in the top of a freaking volcano!?!? I would recommend this anyone who is in good shape and free of physical limitations. Once in a lifetime experience!" Aug 2011
