Lake Atitlan

The beautiful setting of Lake Atitlan was created by a vast volcanic eruption almost 100,000 years ago where the volcanic cone collapsed in on itself, leaving a crater. The lake is surrounded by mountains and three volcanoes, creating a stunning, dramatic terrain ideal for walkers and climbers. Charming villages are dotted along the lake’s shores where you sit and relax, soaking up the unhurried lifestyle of the indigenous people and their traditional values and customs.
