Sebastian Egurrola
I am an outdoor enthusiast and fascinated with what nature has to offer us on a daily basis. This lines up well with my role at Old Town Outfitters where we create custom adventures for our clients.
I love that it seems like nothing happens but also so much happens at the same time from the top of a mountain, or on the crag of a wall when climbing it. My goal is to be able to share these experiences and that we all learn to see life from a more natural point of view.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Hiking, kayaking, biking, and other adventure activities all around the mountains, volcanoes, and lakes of Guatemala. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I started when I was young, trying to escape from the daily routine in the city and found myself on the trails of different volcanoes here in Guatemala. I was lucky to realize that there is so much more life "out on trails". I've gotten to know lots of amazing people through my years of guiding trips and they have also guided me to enjoy the beauty of my own country. I enjoy training my mind and appreciate the little things like a sunrise, or a sunset, a nice bike ride day. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Hiking the Tajumulco volcano for the first time, back in Dec 2009. When it was not supposed to rain, we were surprised with a storm that clouded the trail, but gave such mystical views of the clouds within the forest. The great times spent in the tent waiting for it to stop raining, sharing stories, and previous experiences, just to be surprised the next day with the first time I saw snow in Guatemala! The entire summit of the volcano was covered with a thick layer of ice/snow - that made for an unforgettable morning!"
