Lake Atitlan, photo, picture and image Gallery - Walk - Tierra Linda
Walk from the yellow bridge up to Tierra Linda, through the center, past the main church and back down to the river. 19-12-09
To start walking to Tierra Linda i always go up from the market through bario Norte to the yellow bridge. Before crossing the bridge you continue straight (passed the wooden beems) on the mudroad.
.. when you come to this electric mast you turn left, onto the path towards the mountain.
The path will go up pretty straight. You will reach the electric mast you see in the top of the photo in 9 minutes.
When you reached the second electric mast you keep on going. You always find people when you are not sure of where to go.
This is where the main road begins. Continue it and you will eventually reach "the Center".
Almost entering "Tierra Linda Centro" at this point. You can buy food and water there (tiendas).
Between the main church and the little tienda next to it, both on the corner, is a path that goes down to the river where you can walk back to the yellow bridge.
Arrow Up: Path down to the river. Down: Path to "Concepcion".
Path to "Concepcion". If you take this path it is sometimes hard to communicate with the people asking for directions.
You'll maybe end up near this point when coming down the hill. [-]
The Finca, just before "Patanaltic"
"Ocote" or how do you call it.
My trash gets dumped and burned here, it is not supposed to burn but it has been, for many months now. The toxins wind up in our local food.. Just underneath there is the road to San Andres where a part of Cerro Lec collapsed.
