Laguna Chicibal

Yesterday, I went with a bunch of people from the school to Laguna Chicibal, a lake that sits in the crater of an (extinct) volcano. Its a 6km hike from the town to the lookout point, but on the way up we caught a pickup part of the way. After the lookout point, we walked down 500 stairs to the actual laguna. The Laguna is considered a sacred place for the locals and we got to see a group of men performing a Mayan religious ritual on the side of the lake. The clouds kept coming in and out so one second it would be clear and the next we'd be in a cloud. The walk back up the stairs was a challenge, but overall it was fun and I had a good time with everyone.
