A brief description of Lake Atitlan

The explosion of colors, fantastic landscapes, Mayan living culture, lakes, and volcanoes give life to the magical Lake Atitlan, captivating everyone who visits us.

The daily lives of the ethnos who inhabit Atitlan’s lake, northwest of the Kaqchikel and southeast of the Tz’utujil, are evident in the mixture of indigenous beliefs and Catholicism.

Approximately 85.000 years ago, the area of Atitlan’s Lake experienced an intense and violent cataclysm, forming an enormous crater. San Pedro’s, Toliman’s, and Atitlan’s volcanoes formed 60.000 years later, giving origin to Atitlan’s lake.

Several activities can be practiced in this privileged place, such as Hiking, bird watching, aquatic sports, and cultural immersion.

Panajachel, San Marcos la Laguna, Santa Cruz la Laguna, San Pedro la Laguna, and Santiago Atitlan are some of the places that offer a fantastic experience with multicolored markets selling a variety of earthenware, wood, and textiles.
