Lake Atitlán

La National Geographic nombró al Lago Atitlán como el más hermoso del mundo. Aquí se respira aire fresco y se siente la energía de los volcanes que lo rodean. Es simplemente mágico! Lo más increíble de visitar el lago es que cada uno de los pueblos que lo rodean tiene su propia identidad a pesar de estar muy cerca. Un fenómeno muy interesante de observar y sentir. 

Lake Atitlán is the perfect place to relax, disconnect and enjoy your time with your partner, family or friends.

It is also a great place to practice yoga and find inner peace. 

At the same time, you can find a lot of activities to do, as well as hikes, so you can find the perfect balance in Lake Atitlán. 

Lake Atitlán, framed by lush hills and three volcanoes, is a tranquil haven. Indigenous villages dot the lakeside, each showcasing unique artistry and traditions. The serenity of the lake and the warmth of its people create an unforgettable experience.

Visiting Lake Atitlan will be the top recommendation from anyone and it’s no wonder why. Transportation between town around Lake Atitlan is easy to figure out and a roundtrip ticket is 50 quetzales or $4 usd
