Paradise just outside of Panajachel



Lago de Atitlan, in the Guatemalan Highlands, is a dramatically beautiful place. The lake is surrounded by volcanoes and small Mayan villages filled with traditional culture. The town of Panajachel is a bustling market town, full of merchants and tourists buying and selling tipica, traditional Mayan crafts. There is always a frenzy of activity in Pana, so the town itself can be very tiring,

Just outside of Pana is the gorgeous Hotel Atitlan, with lush gardens and n aviary filled with tropical birds. It’s a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the market. And it’s the perfect place to enjoy a late afternoon trago of Flor de CaƱa rum with friends!
