For Hikers
If you like adventure and nature, I recommend hiking Volcan Acatenango. The volcano is beautiful and there is the option of hiking from the bottom or getting half-way up by car. From the top you can see the eruptions from Volcan de Fuego, Lake Atitlan and the Pacific Ocean. I can help you get in touch with a great tour/expedition guide.
