Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the door of Porta Hotel del Lago de Panajachel. From there, we'll head to the pier to board a boat that will take us to Lake Atitlan.

The tour will start as we cross the lake to explore its secrets and the Mayan culture surrounding it, along with the Mayan villages that coexist on its shores, near the Tolimán, Atitlán, and San Pedro volcanoes.

We will arrive at San Juan La Laguna, where the Mayan roots persist. We'll walk through narrow streets adorned with indigenous murals to meet a group of Mayan women artisans, learning about natural dyeing of fabrics and chocolate making.

Next, we'll visit San Pedro La Laguna, a village where the hippie community and the Mayan population coexist.

We'll return to the boat to head to Santiago Atitlán, known for its local market and rich Mayan culture. We'll visit its square and church before dining at a local restaurant offering authentic Guatemalan dishes.

Finally, we'll return to the boat for the crossing back to Panajachel, concluding our excursion after approximately 6 to 7 hours.
