A heavenly deep blue lake, cradled by volcanoes: Lake Atitlán is the place to go for magnificent views, relaxing activities, and unique local culture. Swim, kayak, soak in a thermal spring, or if you’re interested in alternative therapies you’ll find meditation workshops scattered around the tranquil lake.
For an interesting day trip there are tiny indigenous villages, many of which can only be reached by boat. Here you’ll see the local women weaving exquisite textiles, and if you’d like to contribute to the local community you can buy these and other handicrafts.
