A Mayan God in Santiago de Atitlan - Guatemala
In this episode of Guatemala Unplugged, DBH brings you along Lake Atitlan to the town of Santiago Atitlan, which sits tucked in between two major volcanoes. Take a tour through the town's local religions, as David displays the Church of Santiago and the local Chapel Masimong. Here David gets a peak inside Mayan traditions as the locals pray to their god Masimong- a 'smoking' Mayan god, who is believed to help cure illnesses. After filming a local ceremony inside the chapel, David takes off for Panajachel- Lake Atitlan's most popular and touristic town. Check out the main streets and amazing views of the volcanoes towering over the lake as David walks around this beautiful waterfront spot.

Episode 4 Lago Atitlan, San Pedro
San Pedro la Laguna is a sleepy little Guatemalan town on the shore of Lago Atitlan. We can't say how much we loved it in this town. Lake Atitlan is full of panoramic vistas and cool, clear, blue water that is a treat to swim in. Another thing that we loved about San Pedro was the culture. Most of the people who live there speak an ethnic dialect called Tzutujil and know Spanish only as a second language. The traditions of the Maya are alive and well in this town. There is even a co-op of women who work to preserve weaving techniques that produce some of the most beautiful textiles in the world. Join us on our adventure in San Pedro la Laguna!

Lake Atitlán (Spanish: Lago de Atitlán, [atiˈtlan]) is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range. It is in the Sololá Department of southwestern Guatemala. Atitlan means at the water in Nahuatl.
The lake is surrounded by many villages in which Maya culture is still prevalent and traditional dress is worn. The Maya people of Atitlán are predominantly Tz'utujil and Kaqchikel. During the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the Kaqchikel initially allied themselves with the invaders to defeat their historic enemies, the Tz'utujil and K'iche' Maya, but were themselves conquered and subdued when they refused to pay tribute to the Spanish.

Guatemala/Lake Atitlán (Beautiful) Part 8
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Guatemala/Lake Atitlán :
Lake Atitlán (Lago de Atitlán) is a large endorheic lake (one that does not flow to the sea) in the Guatemalan Highlands. Atitlan is recognized to be the deepest lake in Central America with maximum depth about 340 meters. The lake is shaped by deep escarpments which surround it and by three volcanoes on its southern flank. Lake Atitlan is further characterized by towns and villages of the Maya people. Lake Atitlán is about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west-northwest of Antigua. Lake Atitlán should not be confused with Lake Amatitlán. Lake Amatitlán is located about 65 kilometres (40 mi) southeast of Lake Atitlán and 16 kilometres (10 mi) southeast of Antigua. Lake Atitlán is much larger than Lake Amatitlán.
At the water is the meaning of Atitlan. It is a fusion of simple Nahuatl words that belies the complexity of the entity it identifies. German explorer Alexander von Humbolt is the earliest prominent foreigner generally quoted as calling it the most beautiful lake in the world.
The lake is volcanic in origin, filling an enormous caldera formed in an eruption 84,000 years ago. It is renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and Aldous Huxley famously wrote of it: Lake Como, it seems to me, touches on the limit of permissibly picturesque, but Atitlán is Como with additional embellishments of several immense volcanoes. It really is too much of a good thing.The lake basin supports extensive coffee growth and a variety of farm crops, most notably corn. Other significant agricultural products include onions, beans, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, chile verde, strawberries, avocados and pitahaya fruit. The lake itself is rich in animal life which provides a significant food source for the largely indigenous population.
Culture
The lake is surrounded by many villages, in which Maya culture is still prevalent and traditional dress is worn. The Maya people of Atitlán are predominantly Tz'utujil and Kaqchikel. During the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the Kaqchikel initially allied themselves with the invaders to defeat their historic enemies the Tz'utujil and Quiché Maya, but were themselves conquered and subdued when they refused to pay tribute to the Spanish.
Santiago Atitlán is the largest of the lakeside communities, and is noted for its worship of Maximón, an idol formed by the fusion of traditional Mayan deities, Catholic saints and conquistador legends. The institutionalized effigy of Maximón is under the control of a local religious brotherhood and resides in various houses of its membership during the course of a year, being most ceremonially moved in a grand procession during Semana Santa. Several towns in Guatemala have similar cults, most notably the cult of San Simón in Zunil.
While Maya culture is predominant in most lakeside communities, the largest town on the shores, Panajachel, has been overwhelmed over the years by tourists. It attracted many hippies in the 1960s, and although the war caused many foreigners to leave, the end of hostilities in 1996 saw visitor numbers boom again, and the town's economy is almost entirely reliant on tourism today.
Several Mayan archaeological sites have been found at the lake. Sambaj, located approximately 55 feet below the current lake level, appears to be from at least the pre-classic period.
There are remains of multiple groups of buildings, including one particular group of large buildings that are believed to be the city center.
A second site, Chiutinamit, where the remains of a city were found, was discovered by local fishermen who noticed what appeared to be a city underwater.During consequent investigations, pottery shards were recovered from the site by divers, which enabled the dating of the site to the late pre-classic period (600 B.C. - 250 A.D.).
A project titled Underwater archeology in the Lake Atitlán. Sambaj 2003 Guatemala was recently approved by the Government of Guatemala in cooperation with Fundación Albenga and the Lake Museum in Atitlán. Because of the concerns of a private organization as is the Lake Museum in Atitlán the need to start the exploration of the inland waters in Guatemala was analyzed.
There is no road that circles the lake. Communities are reached by boat or roads from the mountains that may have brief extensions along the shore. Santa Cruz La Laguna and Jaibalito can only be reached by boat. Santa Catarina Palopó and San Antonio Palopó are linked to Panajachel. Main places otherwise are Santa Clara La Laguna and San Pedro La Laguna in the West, Santiago Atitlán in the South, and San Lucas Tolimán in the East.Wikipedia

This is the incredible story of a small hidden Mayan village in the Guatemalan highlands that transformed a monoculture plantation into a diversified agricultural system that supports the original families that worked the plantation and their descendents.

LAKE ATITLAN, GUATEMALA (LAGO DE ATITLÁN) - Hike Volcanoes, Learn Spanish, Eat, and Live with Locals
Welcome to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala! The lake is the largest in Central America and offers a load of outdoor activities. There are multiple volcanoes to hike (I hiked the San Pedro volcano which you can see towards the end of the video), which can be pretty intense. There are also more casual hiking options too, as well as kayaking and swimming too.
I stayed in San Pedro la Laguna (or simply San Pedro to the locals), a small town on the western shore of the lake, for two weeks. My main purpose was to learn and study Spanish for two weeks before spending the next 2.5 months on the road in Spanish-speaking countries.
I'm not an influencer of any kind. I make videos so that I can hopefully get a more traditional job in the fields of journalism, television, and documentary filmmaking. I don't have a Patreon so my viewers can fund a never-ending personal vacation for me, but I'm open to the idea ????????. I tell stories; my own and others. I quit a stable job at one of the largest companies in the world to travel across Central America to take a risk on myself. I didn't quit to inspire others to quit their jobs and travel. That's not what my vlogs are about. If they inspire anything, I hope they motivate you to take a chance on yourself.
There is a quote from the photographer Larry Fink towards the beginning of the video, If you don't take a chance, you don't get a chance. I found a video interview he did with TIME magazine where he talks about chance and I have always found both the video and his quote inspiring. It helps guide me when I feel like giving up on this crazy idea. You can watch Larry's video here,
