Lake Atitlan, Panajachel, San Marcos, San Pedro and Santiago , Guatemala
Located about 1/2 way between Quetzaltenango and Guatemala city is one of the most beautiful spots in all of the Americas Lake Atitlan. This crystal clear blue lake sits at the base of 3 towering volcanoes. If you get a chance, pass by the Sunset Cafe in Panajachel and watch the sunset while listening to live music on the edge of the lake. A very spiritual and relaxing experience.
Panajachel is the largest and most developed of the villages surrounding Lake Atitlan. Calle Santander the principal street in Pana is loaded with souvenir shops, restaurants and a wide range of hotels.
If you are looking for a quieter place to hang your hat give San Pedro, San Marcos or Santiago a try across the lake.
Two of our favorite hotels are...
