Discover Lake Atitlan, Guatemala's True Gem

Guatemala's Lake Atitlan spans a large area of 131 square kilometers and is surrounded by small villages, each with their own character, traditions and attractions. A two-and-a-half hour bus ride from Antigua gets you to Panajachel, a major town on the lake. From there, the water is easily crossed by the local boats that are fast, cheap and easy to navigate.
