Lake Atitlan Solo Traveler´s Fav: Panajachel +San Juan +Boat Ride

Imagine an immense lake, sparkling in the sunlight, surrounded by mountains and volcanoes covered with blooming wildflowers... That’s exactly where we'll take you to discover the lake’s secret town by a boat ride and a guided tour that’ll give you an insight into the heart of the Mayan culture.

We will visit the town of San Juan where you will learn about the living Maya culture, how they naturally dye their textiles, how they make chocolate products, and their cosmovision. We will also visit the most famous town in the region, Panajachel.

Note, if the weather does not allow us to cross the lake to San Juan, we will visit either Santa Catarina or San Antonio Palopo, which are in an area with little wind (we get there by boat). These towns are colorful and have a cultural charm that will leave you with a big smile on your face. Your security and our team members are a priority for us.
