Visit both the colorful market in Chichicastenango and gorgeous Lake Atitlán during this tour. It’s a good way to experience both culture and nature in one day.

Set within the Western Highlands of Guatemala, the town of Chichicastenango is home to one of the country’s best outdoor markets. This market is a good place to wander around and search for gifts and goodies, including pottery, jewelry, masks, and more.

Across the street from the market is the Santo Tomás church, where you may find indigenous people praying and reciting incantations. This church was originally built in 1540 and continues to present travelers with an interesting mixture of Maya and Catholic worship.

After seeing the sights in Chichicastenango, you’ll drive to the town of Panajachel, which is set along the shores of Lake Atitlán. Lake Atitlán is undoubtedly one of Guatemala’s most beautiful sights—the lake has deep blue water and is surrounded by volcanoes and several Mayan villages. As you make your way towards of Panajachel, you’ll stop briefly to enjoy panoramic views of the lake. Once you reach Panajachel, you can walk around and explore this small, hip town.

A friendly bilingual guide leads this tour. As you make your way around Chichicastenango and Panajachel, you’ll learn about the history and culture that surround these two fascinating places.
