Activity itinerary

Guatemala City

  • 3h
We pick up passengers from most hotels in Guatemala City or Antigua Guatemala. The ride to Lake Atitlan is full of pretty little towns along the road, you'll see how the scenarios change from the city to agriculture, and stunning views until you get to the lake. So just sit back and enjoy the drive. It is important to mention that this is a curvy road. We would recommend you get motion sickness medicine in case you need it.

We'll take a water taxi to start the journey to San Juan La Laguna, one of the most picturesque towns on the lake, where you will see a lot of Mayan culture. Let's go!

You will learn first-hand from the indigenous people about these products, their importance, and if you like, you can buy products made by them. Before saying goodbye to this wonderful town, we will walk through its beautiful and colourful streets. You will be able to take incredible photos, and we will prepare for our trip back to Panajachel.
