#0yentravel I went to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, which is said to be the most beautiful in the world! There are indigenous Guatemalan villages around Lake Atitlan, and you can go around each village by boat. Every village is beautiful and laid-back, and each village has a different atmosphere, with plenty of cafes and souvenirs. The lake is so beautiful that you won't get bored even if you look at it all day. If you visit Guatemala, why not visit Lake Atitlan? ?

Lake atitlan is a volcanic lake in Guatemala and her shores are dotted by some 10 plus villages and towns. Each settlement has her own vibes. San Pedro and San Juan has great street art and are vibrant settlements, San marcos is very hippie-ish, jaibalito and Santa Cruz has some very nice lake side clubs/resorts to just hang for the whole day, San Antonio is known for ceramics, etc etc. it will make sense to spend three or four days take the speedboat and explore the towns one by one. Most of these towns are small anyways and you can easily cover a town in half a day. For lakeside chilling I cannot recommend La casa del mundo more. Otherwise Panajachel is the land transportation hub to the rest of Guatemala (however it does have its own attractions I will try cover in another post) with shuttles to Antigua and Guatemala City. if you need the human comforts of banks groceries and stuff it actually is ok to stay in Panajachel and take daily trips to the small towns out. But if you want true isolation from civilisation then staying in the remote settlements is great too

#celebrateit Lake Atitlan is such a beautiful hidden gem that got me awe struck. It is known for the stunning views of volcanoes reflected in the clear water which was intriguing! The colorful villages here are so full of culture and the warmth of the locals made this experience truly amazing. This is a good place to celebrate the weekend either by hiking up trails otr just boating around the lake. Highly recommended!

While traveling to Antigua, I participated in a tour to Lake Atitlán! Oh, and the most famous town in Lake Atitlán is Panajachel😆 That's why it's also called the Panajachel Tour If you go to Antigua, I highly recommend visiting this lake. The lake is so big that it feels like the ocean. It was such an amazing experience👍✨❤️ 📍Lake Atitlán #HongKongFlightEvent #GuatemalaTravel

The most beautiful lake in the world according to Nat Geo is located in Guatemala, at the department of Solola, and it’s name is Lake Atitlan, or Lago de Atitlan. Rich in biodiversity, colorful landscapes, a gorgeous and fascinating culture, cheap hotel stays, cheap and marvelous gastronomy (to be fair one of my favorites), blue see through magical water surrounded by volcanos and 12 towns, multiple adventurous activities to do, like kayaking, paddle boarding, climbing, canopy, makes this not only the most beautiful but the most fun lake in the world. #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #localguides #familytrip
