to Montebello lakes and Panajachel from San Cristobal de Las Casas

Hi,

I will be in San Cristobal on 23-24th April and I was wondering if anybody would like to go to Montebello lakes on any of these days
and/or heads to Panajachel on 25th April? If yes, we could go together.
Also a question, if anybody knows the fair price of the Montebello-tour and a shuttle to Panajachel? Which agencies in San Cristobal are recommended/reliable for these?
Thanks.

Istvan

Go to the Parque Central in the center of San Cristobal and all around the park are located travel outfits. Hit up each one of them asking the prices for what you are interested in.

Walk up Calle Guadalupe Real and you will find about 5 or 6 tour operators. The one I have used is Otissa. They will only take you to the border where you will board another tour operator. I don't remember the price but it was not expensive. None of the operators will go beyond the border and the Guatemalan operators do NOT have as nice of vans.

Good advice from duke. Many on Guadalupe but few around the park. You can price shop but from what I have seen, not much difference.

It seems to me upon looking at a map of the area that if you're going to Lago Montebello, you're already halfway to the Guatemala border and you may as well continue on your own rather than return to San Cristobal de Las Casas on a tour.

#4 that is a good idea, but it may be difficult to get a ride to Guatemala from Montebello.
