About Panajachel / Lake Atitlán
Located in the Guatemalan highlands, about two hours from Antigua, this unique lake is huddled between three volcanoes.
The K’iche’, Tz’utujil and Kaqchikel Maya provide an explosion of color appreciated in their textiles, crafts, artworks, and way of life.
Panajachel is one of the biggest towns on the lake and offers many choices of hotels, restaurants, bars, and stores. It is also the main hub for boat transportation to the lakeside villages available all day until about sunset.
