What it's like to live on Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
What it's Like to Live on Lake Atitlán, Guatemala
So many people have asked us what it's like living on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. This video is the first of several we will be uploading to show just that! Lake Atitlan is an incredible place, and to live there is an amazing experience.
Lake Atitlan has been called the most beautiful lake in the world. Surrounded by steep mountain walls and framed by 3 ancient volcanoes, it has a reputation for being a mystical place. It draws visitors from all over the world.
Lake Atitlan is located in the Guatemalan highlands about 90 miles from Guatamala City. The lake bed is actually a Caldera from the eruption of an ancient super volcano and reaches depths of over a 1,000 feet (340 meters), making it the deepest lake in Central America. Evidence of the regions volcanic past is all around from ash cliffs, to verdant farming along the mountain sides. Of course it's impossible to ignore the towering volcanoes, San Pedro, Toliman, and Atitlan looking over the lake like sentinels.
Atitlan is surrounded by towns and small cities many of which are only accessible by boat. Some of these rise straight up the sides of the mountains, seeming to defy gravity.
There is a very strong indigenous Mayan influence in the area and well over 20 different indigenous languages are spoken in Guatemala. Several of these can still be heard around Lake Atitlan where cultural identity is still very strong, despite western influences. Locals wear traje tipica, or 'typical clothes' and carry on life in much the same way as their ancestors, though every so often you'll see a smart phone tucked in their waistbands.
The jumping off point for most place around the lake is a town called Panajachel or Pana for short. The reason Pana is the center for the tourist scene at lake atitlan is because it is one of the most accessible towns on the lake. The main highway runs through it. Pana is also built on an area of the lake that is relatively flat, due to the river valley that it's situated in. For these and other reasons most people traveling to Lake Atitlan will pass through Pana at one point or another.
Within Pana itself there are several things to see and do, including visiting the historic church of Saint Francis of Asissi, with its original facade from the 16th century, visiting the Nature Reserve, attending a Spanish school, and of course shopping.
Within Pana people get around mostly via Tuk Tuks, small motor scooter carriages, that zip around town like red ants. You'd think the tuk tuks would slow down with the bumpy roads, and yet they fly at insane speeds to get you there on time! A tuk tuk should cost you 5 Quetzales in town per person, and 10 for longer rides.
most drivers don't charge for kids.
Pana has a fairly large harbor and a large fleet of public and private boats called Launchas. The launchas will take you to any other town on the lake and run from sun up until sun down. Just be aware that the lake is smooth in the morning and choppy in the evening, and when I say choppy, I mean really choppy!...this is almost always the case.
Most of the towns around the lake have a hustle and bustle about them. There is a palpable energy in the air, and nowhere is this more prevalent than each towns local market. In these markets local merchants buy and sell all sorts of goods. You can find pretty much anything you could ever want in the market. From meat, and fresh produce, to clothes and shoes. In the market there are no set prices and haggling is common. If you're a foreigner though be prepared to pay top dollar!
The schools around lake Atitlan may not look like schools elsewhere, but they are excellent. When the kids play...they play hard, and when they work, they work hard. We were very impressed with the schools in Pana and our kids loved them.
If you visit Lake atitlan, go to Calle Santander, even if you don't intend on buying anything. It is such a fun place to walk and observe the people, and take in the smells, sights, and sounds. If you look like a foreigner, just know...you will be approached by many street vendors! Your two favorite words may become No, Gracias!
As far as things to do in Pana and around the lake, most of the regions tourist draw is for sightseeing. There are of course lake activities, such as kayaking and paddle boarding, but most people come to shop for local handiworks, especially the beautiful weaving that the region is known for. Each town along the lake shore is different. San Marcos for example is known as the spiritual or hippie town on the lake, while San Pedro is the backpacker town. Each place is different and worth visiting. You can also hike up several of the peaks around the lake, including the volcanoes.
Living on Lake Atitlan is an incredible experience and one that you will never forget!

Lake Atitlan (with Boat to Santiago), Guatemala GoPro 1080p
Review of the Lake Atitlan (Lago de Atitlan) excursion. Tour includes a visit to 2 lakeside settlements: Panajachel and Santiago Atitlan. Lake Atitlan is a body of water in a massive volcanic crater in Guatemala’s southwestern highlands. Ringed by steep, verdant hills.

The depth being reproduced on the known charts is 320 metres (1050 feet), however investigations carried out in the years 1970 evaluate to 600 meters (1970 feet) the depth on the San Lucas Toliman side; Lake Atitlan, Guatemala 2019. Tour booked via Gray Line Guatemala. Shots were taken with GoPro Hero 7 Black 1080p HD.
Lake Atitlan Guatemala Part 1 - Guatemala travel guide
Lake Atitlan Guatemala Part 2 - Guatemala Travel Guide - Antigua Guatemala to Panajachel Guatemala & Lago Atitlan is where we'll visit during this video. Lake Atitlan was on our radar since we arrived in Antigua Guatemala. Lake Atitlan Guatemala is what the local tour companies would advise us to visit. Since My girlfriend is a planner, heading from Antigua to Panajachel was our logical first leg of our journey. Antigua to Panajachel Guatemala is where most begin their trek to Lake Atitlan.
Also known as Lago Atitlan, Lago Atitlan Guatemala is the way it would be pronounced in Spanish. Antigua Guatemala is our spot, don't get me wrong, but Lake Atitlan Panajachel would have to be our second favorite place visited during our visit to Guatemala. Panajachel is the main town to get to from both Guatemala City and Antigua Guatemala when heading to Lake Atitlan. Panajachel Guatemala is a funky little town right on the lake and probably the main town to move around to and from other towns along the lake. If going from Antigua to Lake Atitlan just ask any tour company or guide in town. and there are plenty of them. Guides also hang out in Parque Central. Guatemala City is a good jump off spot since your flight will probably land there. But any city, really, is easy to plan a trip to the lake.
Guatemala City to Lake Atitlan is probably a 3 hour drive. Atitlan Guatemala is now a major tour attraction. But really, not too many Americans know about it. So, keep it a secret please. Atitlan Guatemala 2019 is a good way to search for visits to the lake. ,Kaapul Atitlan is the name of the vegetarian resort we stayed at. We had the entire place to ourselves. Extremely quite and peaceful. Guatemala Travel is the way to go people. A Guatemala Travel Guide is a good way to get started. Antigua travel should be at the top of your list if visiting Central America. Guatemala is the country, Antigua is the city. If visiting Antigua Guatemala and I could be of assistance, please comment on the video and I'll help you as best I can.

Lake Atitlan Guatemala ABSOLUTELY STUNS US!
WE are half way through our three month break from sailing for the hurricane season and still adventuring throughout inland Guatemala.
This episode WE trek a little bit west from Antigua to an absolutely stunning getaway at Lake Atitlan. This beautiful mountain lake is surrounded by volcanoes and is in fact the lake it self is a crater from a volcano at one time. We waste not time exploring these beautiful vistas. Our time (and now this video) is filled with sightseeing, shopping, chocolate, zip lines, monkeys, butterflies, poolside recovery, boat rides, and just amazing times!!
We wander back and fourth to some of the main lakeside villages; San Marcos, San Juan and San Pedro. Each one offering a slightly different feel to the next.

Guatemalan STREET FOOD from the GODS in Lake Atitlan | Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala
On my second day in Guatemala in partnership with the Real Intercontinental Guatemala we explored Santiago Atitlan the most important town on Lake Atitlan. Here we tried some of the best street food in Guatemala!

My Film Making Kit ►
When we arrived in Santiago Atitlan we headed straight for Maya Patin a local street food on Lake Atitlan which is a small salted fish mixed with tomato paste in a banana leaf. It was salty and spicy, super delicious!
Next we continued up the town and we stop and had a spicy Guatemalan snow cone. It was a little spicy but the lime made it extra delicious!
We then visit Maximon, the Maya god or grandfather of Santiago Atitlan. The maya people of Santiago Atitlan believe that he protects the town. You can see him smoking cigarets and drinking! Pretty amazing experience!
To end our day in Santiago Atitlan we visited a local fish restaurant and ate some Black Bass. I had it with a white wine sauce and I also put some spicy sauce they had which was super spicy. Mariel challenged me and I won!
From there we crossed the lake back to Panajachel and drove 3 hours back to Guatemala City to the Real Intercontinental Guatemala. We had dinner at their Japanese restaurant Tanoshii. We went all out with three rolls of sushi, sashimi and sake!
Next time you head to Guatemala I recommend working with my friends at A La Carta Tours:

SWIMMING IN LAKE ATITLAN - Guatemala Series | Episode 8
Hanging out on Lake Atitlan here in Guatemala is such a pleasure! Awesome vegetarian restaurant, chill hostel, swimming in the lake! I had a peaceful day chilling out and taking it slow. That's what traveling should be all about though, right? Surprisingly, when backpacking, especially a third world country, it proves to be exhausting and fast paced since you're always doing new things and traveling from city to city. Today was one of the chill ones. :)

Antigua Guatemala to Lake Atitlan Guatemala - Lake Atitlan Panajachel & San Marcos Guatemala
Antigua Guatemala to Lake Atitlan Guatemala - Lake Atitlan Panajachel & San Marcos Guatemala
