This is the most well-known lake in Guatemala, maybe even Central America. Lake Atitlan is also the deepest lake in Central America with many cozy, colorful towns along the water. It sits at an altitude of about 1,400 meters which keeps the weather so amazing all year round. This “Land of Eternal Spring” is a stunning place to visit all year round.

Guatemala is a very large country where the culture is very strong. In 10 days it is better to concentrate on a small part of the country. Between Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and Chichicastenango you will be immersed in the Guatemalan culture. You will also relax on the beach and if you're between September and November you can even see baby turtles hatching.
Between volcanic Mayan customs and traditional villages, this trip will be very varied.
Colonial towns, Museums, Gastronomy, Relaxation, Local markets, Volcanoes, Beach.
I consider that accommodations are personal and depend on many criteria, so accommodations are not mentioned in this itinerary. However, transportation with shuttles is indicated. You will find some very good ones on Bookings.

In Guatemala, every day is a new adventure. Picture yourself working from a cozy café in the colonial city of Antigua, surrounded by cobblestone streets and colorful facades. On weekends, you could be hiking up active volcanoes, exploring chaotic local markets, or diving into crystal-clear waters. The country’s diverse landscapes—from rain forests and serene lakes to rugged mountains and black beaches—offer endless opportunities for exploration and inspiration.
This guide is a 1-month itinerary for digital nomads, taking you from Xela, to Lake Atitlán, to El Paredón, and Antigua where you can hike the volcano Acatenango, then pursue your journey north to Semuc Champey and Flores.
I did this trip in May 2023 and would recommend it to everyone. Just an insight in how I build this guide. It is based on my experience, I was traveling with my partner. We were working from Monday to Thursday and would travel in the weekends. I will add the following sign 🏠, to the places we stayed but I will also add a cheaper option and a more expensive option, that I found either on hostelworld, booking.com or Airbnb with good reviews.
Legend:
❤️- Highly recommend (the more hearts the more I loved it)

If you have any question do not hesitate to book a consultancy or send me a DM through instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anywherewithanea/
Also, if you book through the links I added I will earn some commission this will not add costs to you but will give me some extra earnings. Thank you in advance and I hope you will enjoy Guatemala as much as I did.
