Ride through Sololá’s wonderful native villages creating an unforgettable indigenous cultural experience with 360° views of the volcanoes around the Lake Atitlán.
Lake Atitlán is a body of water in a massive volcanic crater in Guatemala’s southwestern highlands. Ringed by steep, verdant hills, it’s known for its Mayan villages and volcanoes with striking pointed cones. The busy town of Panajachel, where vendors sell traditional textiles, is a popular gateway to the lake. On a former coffee plantation, the Atitlán nature reserve offers trails and a butterfly garden.
The hills and volcanoes around the lake offer dense forests, where hiking can be practiced without problems, allowing for the observation of a wide variety of birds, from the timid little woodpeckers, to the Quetzal, the National bird.
The volcanoes Atitlán, Tolimán, and San Pedro (“The Three Giants“), on the shores of the lake, form an impressive landscape. Around the lake you can visit the municipalities of Santiago Atitlán, San Lucas Tolimán, San Antonio Palopo, Santa Catarina Palopo, Panajachel, and San Pedro La Laguna. Many of the inhabitants of these towns are descendants of the Cakchiquel and Tzutuhil groups. The villages offer different environments to tourists, from the peace characteristic of Santa Cruz la Laguna and San Pedro, popular places among tourists, to the festive atmosphere of Panajachel, the most popular spot in Sololá. You can also find all kinds of crafts such as fabrics, pots, chains, bracelets, drums and hammocks, among others. You can get to San Pedro, Santa Clara la Laguna and the rest of the villages by land. However, due to the number of lodging options in Panajachel, it is usually more convenient to get there, and from there, take a boat to the surrounding towns. The trip from Guatemala City to Lake Atitlán takes about two hours and forty minutes.
