Lago de Atitlan was formed 85,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption that created a huge crater that filled with water. A number of smaller volcanoes roese out of the lake waters, and now Lago de Atitlan is surrounded by volcanoes that occasionally rumble and spew ash. Here is a panoramic shot of three of the volcanoes as seen from my balcony at Hotel Atitlan.
