Arrival at Lake Atitlan
You’ll arrive in the town of Panajachel (or Pana) and check into your locally run hotel, with a nice garden and a small pool, just a short walk from the main street and the shores of the lake. The town itself isn’t that attractive, but its setting is spectacular and there’s a good selection of places to eat and drink as the sun comes down over the water.
Explore the area
After breakfast you’ll be met by your local guide for the day who’ll run you through some options of what you can do. You could visit some of the other smaller villages around the shore, head off on a walk to some stunning viewpoints, or perhaps take a boat trip across the lake before you return to Pana for a second evening (and another one of those sunsets…).
Continue your journey
This morning, after breakfast at your hotel, it’ll be time to check out and head to your next destination. If you’d like a little more time to explore this area then just let us know and we can book extra nights for you.
“Aside from its epic coastlines, jungle-cloaked ruins and amazing food, what stuck with me the most from my travels in Mexico were the friendly and helpful people I met along the way. I can't wait to go back!”
