					Lots of cool bike trails and hiking trails. It's not an easy trek up though, be prepared 😅

					I'm going to leave a detailed review because I had trouble locating information in English.

This is a place with mountain biking trails, which you can also hike, an excellent restaurant,  coffee gardens, and a working farm.

You can get here by taking a chicken bus to Santa Maria De Jesus and getting off on the way.

Mountain bike hire is available, and they had what looked like very good quality bikes: hardtail for approx 290 and full suspension for 550. I ended up just walking around , which cost 55. From what I saw the mountain bike trails looked world class, with transport available up the mountain if too lazy to pedal up. Lots of different trails too.

The only downside is that signage isn't always clear, but it's difficult to get lost. As the trails all double as mountain bike trails they are all easy to hike.

I'd highly recommend for a relaxing trip out of Antigua. The view from the restaurant is excellent, and from what I understand they also have a petting zoo for the kids too.

					I went to their private hiking trails, paid Q55 and hiked for 2 hours. It was super awesome, peaceful and recharging to do this and so close to Antigua Guatemala.

I then had a v60 coffee and a prosciutto sandwich at their restaurant. It was so good and they have great views to the mountains and fields.

					Wonderful and beautiful place. You can also buy the farm's cheese and milk from the restaurant. The hikes there are amazing.

One caveat is that the signage is very bad, so I would recommend using All Trails app to help guide you. It take about 2.5 to 3 hours to get to the summit of Cucuruchu.

					A beautiful place. Great possibility to do hikes. Lots of coffee plants, flowers and stunning views. The bistro serves good coffee and they play nice mellow music.

Tickets to do the hike are Q 55, but it's totally worst it.
