Magical Sunsets of Lake Atitlán
This is our first trip to Guatemala. We started from Antigua, and then fell in love with Lake Atitlan, the culture, and the people!
Why this is a trip we’ll remember for always...
Our trip to Guatemala was an amazing experience. We fell in love with Lake Atitlan, the culture, and people! Visiting the art galleries and women's textile cooperative in San Juan was a unique experience. The blend between Mayan and Catholic culture in Santiago is a must-see. Our tour guide, Leonel, was excellent. His knowledge, expertise, and passion for the community made a huge difference in the experience that we had!
The charms of Lake Atitlan...
There are a lot of things you can do around Lake Atitlan. The hike at San Pedro Volcano was one of the best hikes I've ever done. It goes through coffee plantations, fields, and finally into the forest area of the national park. The views are stunning and the hike is totally worth it. Our guide really wowed us with his expertise in Ecology.
Completely tailored to our taste...
Everything was very personalized to our interests. I would recommend Anywhere and Leonel to *anyone* traveling to Guatemala. What an unforgettable experience!
Places you'll stay
Santa Cruz La Laguna
The mellow town of Santa Cruz La Laguna is set along the shores of Lake Atitlán to the west of Panajachel. Accessible only by boat, Santa Cruz is both beautiful and supremely relaxed.
Lake Atitlan, Panajachel
Panajachel is Lake Atitlán’s most popular traveler town. Set along the northern shores of the lake, the setting is here is gorgeous—think blue water, forested mountains, and volcanoes. The town’s culture mixes North American, European and Central American influences.
Antigua
The charming city of La Antigua is situated in a lush highland valley and surrounded by the cones of three volcanoes. As its name implies (Antigua means old in Spanish), this is a historic city. It was the former capital of Guatemala until an earthquake destroyed it in 1773. Following this disaster, the capital was moved to its current site at Guatemala City, but the ruins (and some of the people) of Antigua stayed put. These days, Antigua is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the country’s foremost tourist destinations.
