Another epic sunrise on top of Lake Atitlan

olegnator (59) in travel • 7 years ago

Chasing yet another sunrise, this time from a peak called "Indian nose" at 2300m on Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala. Waking up at 3am for this was totally worth it. Would you wake up at 3 am to see this sunrise? Or rather party all night and sleep till midday? 😜

Oh, totally worth it. Also worth coming back, at least for me, I love this place!

Wow! Seriously that might be one of the best sunrises ever.

I'm way more of the party all night and then go catch the sunrise type of guy then wake up early. But either way this sunrise was worth the effort.

Don't go that far man! "When I am retired" also works 😀

No way, when I retire I will be staying as active as possible. Then again I'm not sure I will ever truly retire. To stop all means of earning an income just seems crazy to me. Now I'm only 40 now so maybe those thoughts will change when the time comes.

Awesome that first shot is great. And props for getting up early. I had to get up a few times this week at 3am ... but that was for milky way pictures and not to do a huge hike! haha

wow, I checked those, they look amazing man! Could see the Milky Way during that hike as well but not that clear, need to get a fast lens and get into the stars photography! which means more getting up at 3 am though 😴

Even so I´m no morning person at all, whenever I do it, may it be in walking around Venice before everyone else has woken up or on the Causeway Coast - it is so worth it!

Nice!!! I wouldn't want to get up at 3am to go hiking, but I would. Or more likely I would just stay up until 3AM and then sleep after I finished the hike.

haha, I like sleep too much, but indeed might be easier to stay awake. Or sleep on the mountain! and wake up for the sunrise!

Man awesome profile by the way! 👍

Yes, it's always nice when you can camp near where the good stuff is - just means more things to carry.

Thank you by the way! :)

I would choose to party all night and sleep in if I had to choose between the two but sunrise majestic. I would sacrifice a night of partying for it.
