Lake Atitlan is considered to be the most beautiful lake in the world.  Located in the Guatemalan highlands, Sololá, about four hours by car from Guatemala City. It is surrounded by 12 indigenous mayan villages that are different from each other you will enjoy practicing activities such as yoga and meditation retreats, take in the view of its clear blue waters and the volcano rising up along the edge, take a guided multi-day tour for climbing Volcano San Pedro and hiking along the different villages, kayaking and scuba diving, lake tours by private boat, among others.

Aside from the spectacular scenery and climate, one of the main attributes that makes a lasting impression on visitors is the friendliness of the local people.  Lake Atitlan is home to two linguistic groups - The Kaqchiqueles and the Tzutuhiles.  There is certainly enough to entertain visitors of all ages and interests for a week or much more.
