Lake Atitlan One Day Tour
Lake Atitlan is an explosion of colors, fantastic landscapes, Mayan living culture, lakes, and volcanoes.
The mixture of beliefs and Catholicism is shown every day by indigenous who inhabit Atitlan’s lake’s surroundings. The Kaqchikel is to the northwest and the Tz’utujil in the southeast.
Approximately 85.000 years in, the area of Atitlan’s lake experienced an intense and violent cataclysm forming an enormous crater. San Pedro’s, Toliman’s, and Atitlan’s volcanoes formed 60.000 years after, giving origin to Atitlan’s lake.
Several activities can be practiced in this privileged place, like Hikes, birdwatching, and aquatic sports.
The villages of San Juan, San Pedro la Laguna, and Santiago Atitlan are some of the destinations that offer a fantastic opportunity with multicolored sacred places and textiles shops.
