| Lake Atitlan |
|
About the Area: For many, there is no more spectacular site in the world that the sun setting over the Lake Atitlan, as the evening mist descends. English novelist Aldous Huxley described the lake as like "[Italy's] Lake Como with the added embellishment of several immense volcanoes" and decided it was the most beautiful lake in the world. Once the traveler gets their breath back after the first look at the incredible view of the lake, he or she can begin to explore the trails and nature parks that surround it - the rugged can even attempt to ascend one of the volcanoes. The Lake itself is beautiful for swimming, and there are even places to go scuba diving. Dotted around the shore of the lake are dozens of towns, from busy Panajachel, with its international scene and restaurants, to sleepy indigenous towns such as San Juan La Laguna. Whether for a short visit or a longer stay, the beauty of Lake Atitlan will stay with you forever. Panajachel |
