Can someone tell me anything about Atlitan-Guatemala? |
Travel Info Can someone tell me anything about Atlitan-Guatemala? Travel Tips Lake Atitlan is incredibly beautiful! It has 14 Mayan villages around its shores, including Panajachel, San Jorge, Santa Cruz, Jaibalito, Tzununa, San Marcos, San Pablo, San Juan, San Pedro, Santiago Atitlan, San Lucas, San Antonio, and Santa Catarina. Each one is different, and most are worth a visit. I love the boat rides on the lake. The very best view is from the middle of the lake. You can find a good map, and a lot more information at http://www.atitlan.net/ . They also have thousands of photos and videos from the area. It takes 2 or 3 hours to drive from Guatemala City. The back road thru Patzun is also an amazing drive. Enjoy your visit. Source(s): http://www.atitlan.net Other Travel Tips I assume you mean Lake Atitlan? Very beautiful lake surounded by 3 volcanos. The main town of interest is Panajachel or the locals call it 'Gringotenango' because of the fact that it is overrun with tourist. Dispite the fact that it you will be overrun with tourist. The views make it worth a visit. The lake is very beautiful and surrounded by mountains. The drive out there is through twisty mountain highways, but worth it! there are two roads the main road a this one twisty mountain road that I would not recommend taking (notorious for being assaulted by thieves). Anyways the lake is very beautiful and if you decide to take a private boat ride or ferry to one of the surrounding towns make sure your back before at least sunset because the waters are known to get rough later on. The surrounding towns are beautiful because of their different color dresses, and customs. Just make sure and ask if you can take their pictures, especially the women because some think its kind of rude. The drive out there is worth it! Its is very beautiful, you should visit. Don't forget to go to Tikal, like the movie Apocalito. One of the most beautiful places in Guatemala. It's a lake surrounded by twelve villages and three volcanos... It has everything, night life, cultural and historical places to meet and very friendly people.... |
