Magical Lake Atitlan Guatemala Travel Guide 4K

In this Lake Atitlan travel guide we explore 5 villages around the lake. Including Santiago De Atitlan, San Juan La Laguna, Santa Catarina, San Antonio Palopo and Panajachel. I would say this is the best place to visit in Guatemala because there are many villages to explore around the lake and culture to explore. But best of all is probably going to be the incredible natural beauty and scenery of the lake Atitlan.

There are a few towns around the lake also worth mentioning but we did not go. Such as San Marcos, which is popular with new age explorers, San Pedro La Laguna with foreign tourist and San Lucas for its proximity outside of the lake region to the Pacific Ocean. Our travel guide is from Santa Cruz La Laguna and says that one is the best. If you can get around to many of the towns and villages you will certainly feel culturally enriched and as if you really met the Mayan people.

You won't believe the beauty of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala ????????

???? Where I Get My Music From – Try it 1 month FREE:

Lake Atitlan (Lago de Atitlán, in Spanish) is considered by many to be the most beautiful lake in the world. It is one of Guatemala's top tourist attractions, and a place I highly recommend if you are interested in nature, or learning about Guatemalan culture. I've now visited Lake Atitlan twice, and learned a lot about the region and the towns surrounding Lake Atitlan. So today I wanted to make a Travel Guide to Lake Atitlan, to help answer any questions you might have. Hope you enjoy.

Visiting the Most Beautiful Lake in Central America | Lake Atitlan Guatemala | Guatemala Travel Vlog

In this Guatemala travel vlog I will be visiting the most beautiful lake in Central America. Welcome to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala (Lago de Atitlan Guatemala)! In this Guatemala vlog, I will show you four different towns on this beautiful lake. On my first day, I explore the tranquil town of Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz La Laguna), where I meet some friendly locals and wander through the town’s green hills and colorful buildings. After exploring Santa Cruz, I take the boat, also called the lancha, to the biggest town on Lake Atitlan, Panajachel (Panajachel La Laguna). Panajachel Guatemala, or as the locals call it, Pana, is a bustling town filled with tons of markets, shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

On my second day on Lake Atitlan I explored the towns of San Marcos (San Marcos La Laguna) and San Juan (San Juan La Laguna). San Marcos is a beautiful small town known for its hippy atmosphere and chill vibes. San Marcos is home to tons of health focused stores with lots of organic, vegetarian, and vegan cafes and restaurants. San Marcos is also home to Cerro Tzankujil, which is a nature reserve great for a hike with beautiful views of the lake, and even a cliff jumping spot if you are in search of an adrenaline rush.

After visiting San Marcos, I took the boat to potentially my favorite town on the lake, San Juan. If you visit Lake Atitlan, I would strongly recommend making the trip to San Juan. San Juan is less visited by tourists and is a beautiful town with incredible mountain views and some of the most colorful streets and buildings I have ever seen. The streets are filled with bright colors and tons of art murals. Walking around the streets of San Juan will most definitely put a smile on your face.

I hope after watching this Guatemala travel video, you can understand why so many people believe that Lake Atitlan (Lago de Atitlan) is the most beautiful lake in Central America. It is a place I would highly recommend when visiting Guatemala!

The Most Amazing Town on Lake Atitlan - SAN PEDRO, GUATEMALA!!

Read all about my adventures in the travel memoir Beers, Tears & Broken Veneers available to buy right here on Amazon:

SAN PEDRO is a sleepy little town on the South Western shores of LAKE ATITLAN. Many BACKPACKERS and TRAVELERS alike flock to this town for the cheap BOOZE and NIGHTLIFE. Ask anyone in GUATEMALA about San Pedro and they all say the same thing its nothing but a party town. But is this really true, I travelled across the lake to find out.

After visiting PANAJACHEL, SAN LUCAS and SANTIAGO on Lake Atitlan it was time for me to find a town to chill out and do some editing. I really like Santiago but I found that the prices were just a little to high for me, my GUESTHOUSE for example was really nice but I was paying $12 per night. Doesn't seem like much but when you multiply that by 30 days the price goes up. I spoke to a few of my fellow travellers and they all told me that San Pedro, which was a 15 minute BOAT journey away, had the cheapest prices. But it also had a reputation as a party town. I'm no square, back in the day I partied with the best of them (I even owned a bar in PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA), but now that I'm a little older I party a lot less and just wanted to chill out.

I decided to take the chance and investigate San Pedro for myself. What I didn't know was San Pedro had two docks, a western dock and an eastern dock. The western dock is where all the bars and partying is done, one big tourist trap. The eastern dock is connected to the part of the town where the local Guatemalan's live and there are less tourists. By sheer luck the boat going from Santiago to San Pedro docked in the eastern part of the town, I had hit gold, I was away from the TOURIST TRAP.

In typical fashion I didn't book a HOSTEL, HOTEL or GUESTHOUSE. I always find that if you just turn upto a place you will get the best deal. After getting off the boat I immediately tackled the big hill that lead towards the town, it was a beast, especially carrying two bags. I got about halfway up and seen an alleyway with a bunch of signs advertising hostels. I looked around and found a place called SAN FRANCISCO. A lady showed me upstairs to a room on the top floor which had a balcony with an epic view of the LAKE. The price for this accommodation was only $8 per night, or there was a weekly rate which worked out at $6 per night. I stayed one night and loved it: free drinking water, the use of the kitchen and washroom and of course the view which was just epic. I had found my cheap accommodation for a month of editing.

As for the town eastern part of the town, well just look at the video, it is amazing. Very cultural, less tourists and lots of street art. I just loved it. I even had a walk round to the western part of San Pedro and its like a different town. BARS and RESTAURANTS everywhere, tuk tuk drivers looking for business and hundreds of tourists. After three minutes in this part of San Pedro it reminded me why I was better off in the eastern part of town.

Bottom line, San Pedro is a town of two halves. If you want to party and be surrounded by other TOURISTS and backpackers go to the western part of the town. But if you want peace and quiet go to the eastern part of town. Its rich in culture, very peaceful and very cheap.

EP17 - LAKE ATITLAN | visiting THREE TOWNS around the lake (Panajachel, San Marcos, San Pedro)

Episode 17 - Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
This episode is a bit of a beast! We spent 10+ days at the beautiful Lake Atitlan exploring 3 towns (Panajachel, San Marcos and San Pedro... and a fourth in the next video...) and then condensed all of that into one 30 minute episode. The shot from the thumbnail is from the Indian Nose sunrise hike, and it is truly one of the best views we've ever seen.

The lake is incredibly special to us, and we hope you enjoy the video, let us know what you think and if you liked the longer form video (or would rather we stick to shorter and snappy). We'll leave you with a great quote from author Aldous Huxley (Brave New World):

Lake Como, it seems to me, touches on the limit of permissibly picturesque, but Atitlán is Como with additional embellishments of several immense volcanoes. It really is too much of a good thing.”

The Most Dangerous Village at Lake Atitlán? (San Pablo)

After hearing warnings from a local farmer that San Pablo La Laguna is full of thieves and that I would probably be robbed with machetes, I became too interested to see if the village was really that bad. I decided to explore San Pablo and see how it's actually like for a visitor. I also gave a go to a jumping platform in San Marcos and made the 12 meter jump to the Lake Atitlán.

24 HOURS in SAN MARCOS LA LAGUNA IN LAKE ATITLÁN, GUATEMALA (is it just a hippie town?)

24 HOURS in SAN MARCOS LA LAGUNA IN LAKE ATITLÁN, GUATEMALA (is it just a hippie town?)

IS SAN MARCOS LA LAGUNA ONLY A HIPPIE TOWN? In this video, we answer that question while exploring the city of San Marcos la Laguna on Lake Atitlan and giving a Guatemalan tourist guide on the best things to do. We first go to the Shangri-la Coffee Roastery! Then we pass by the center of town and the path to the dock with all the souvenir shops! After that, we go to the CERRO TZANKUJIL NATURE RESERVE and jump off the Trampoline which is a 12 M or 40 FT drop into the lake! Finally, we have dinner and Wyatt plays basketball with local Guatemalans from San Marcos La Laguna! You have to check it out!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SAN PEDRO LA LAGUNA (Lake Atitlan, Guatemala)

We have arrived to Lake Atitlan and will be spending a week in the town of San Pedro La laguna. With all of its beauty, it is still not exactly what we were expecting...

Isaías González Spanish Teacher's website:
We highly recommend Isaías as your Spanish teacher :)

Howdy! We're Jenna & Andrew and we create travel vlogs (right now we are in Central America!). With this channel we hope to do more than just the typical bucket list.

Exploring Three Villages @ Lake Atitlan, Guatemala ( San Pedro, San Marcos, Santa Cruz )

Lake Atitlan is one of the coolest destinations in Guatemala. While I was visiting recently, I took day trips to several villages on the lake, armed with my GoPro to record the experience as if you were with me.

This video isn't very dressed up, it's pretty much my moment-to-moment vlog wandering around these places.

LAKE ATITLAN, GUATEMALA: THE MOST AUTHENTIC VILLAGES

Lake Atitlan, located in Guatemala, is a body of water inside of a volcanic crater. There are a total of 11 villages surrounding the lake and they all are very different from one another. Today, we will take you to the MOST authentic villages, but things don’t go as smoothly as we hoped. In this video, you will see some of the realities of traveling full-time and that most of the time things do not go as planned.

Here are the villages that we visited:
1. Santa Catarina Palopó
2. San Antonio Palopó
3. San Juan La Laguna
