Spectacular LAKE ATITLÁN GUATEMALA 2020 | From the Sky | The MOST BEAUTIFUL LAKE in the WORLD
Lake Atitlan Guatemala is a must visit place when you visit Guatemala 2020. It is the most beautiful lake in the world. This volcanic lake surrounded by three volcanoes, mountains and charming Mayan villages is a top destination when you travel Guatemala.
If you have the chance to visit Lake Atitlan Guatemala 2020 or in the future, we highly recommend you to do it. It is one of our favourite destinations in Guatemala and in the world.
We are spending 8 months travelling in Guatemala, the country where Giorgio was born. Our Guatemala Travel Vlog 2020 (and 2019) Series will bring you to the most amazing places in Guatemala. This Lake Atitlan Guatemala Drone video shows you some of the most beautiful places and views you can find on your Guatemala travel.
In Spanish, Lake Atitlan is called Lago de Atitlan, and it is the deepest lake in Central America. The lake has a maximum depth of about 340 metres. It is situated in the district of Sololá in the western highlands of Guatemala. The lake is 18 km wide and 10 km long. It lies at an altitude of 1,562 m. It is surrounded by the three volcanoes: Volcan Atitlán, Volcan Tolimán and Volcan San Pedro.
The lake is located about 50 kilometres from Antigua Guatemala, which is also a popular and beautiful travel destination in Guatemala. It easy to travel from Lake Atitlan to Antigua Guatemala.
The lake is surrounded by many villages and towns in which Maya culture is still prevalent. Traditional clothes are still worn by many Mayan people.
Lago de Atitlán is an endorheic lake, feeding into two rivers. The lake basin is volcanic in origin, filling an enormous caldera formed by an eruption 84,000 years ago.
The towns and villages around Lake Atitlan in Guatemala are: San Juan La Laguna, San Pedro La Laguna, San Marcos La Laguna, Panajachel, Jaibalito, Santa Cruz La Laguna, Tzununá, San Pablo La Laguna, Santiago Atitlán, Santa Catarina Palopó, San Lucas Tolimán and San Antonio Palopó. Each town is unique and you should visit them all if you have the chance. San Juan Guatemala and San Pedro Guatemala are neighbouring villages but completely different. We recommend you to visit San Juan Guatemala 2020 and also San Pedro Guatemala 2020.
We hope you like our Lake Atitlan 2020 video. Next week our next Guatemala vlog 2020 will be out!

Day 4 Camino Atitlan GUA Santiago Atitlan to San Lucas Toliman. Sep 30, 2023.
Day 4 Camino Atitlan GUA Santiago Atitlan to San Lucas Toliman. Sep 30, 2023. 18 km about 10 miles. It was a very easy and beautiful walk through volcanic scenery and coffee plantations, avocado trees, and cornfields. Lots of Guatemala’s going to work and school in the back of Toyota pick ups. Took a bus to Santiago, and returned on a boat to San Pedro.
Volcán Tolimán
Un recorrido al Volcán Tolimán, no conocíamos la ruta, pero con mucha precaución y con mucho entusiasmo logramos hacer cumbre rápidamente.
Saludos amigos.

Day 6 Camino Atitlan GUA FAILED TRIP, Godinez to San Lucas Toliman, October 13, 2023.
Day 6 Camino Atitlan GUA FAILED TRIP, Godinez to San Lucas Toliman, October 13, 2023. I planned to take public transportation to Godinez today, Friday the 13th (and it was a doozy), and then walk from Godinez to San Lucas the next day, Saturday, It was the last leg of my complete circle around Lake Atitlan. When I got to a small village called San Alicia, via boat, the back of a loaded down Toyota, pick up and a tuck tuck, there were protest and Road blocks and I could not get to Godinez. I was heartbroken. By then the sun was hot. I decided to return back to San Pedro and barely made it back due to all the protest, closing down roads, boats, and taxis. What an adventure: of course, what did I expect for Friday the 13th.

The most stunning spot around the Atitlan Lake? 100 km hike - day 1 - Panajachel to...(sub:EN,PL,ES)
Do you want to belong to the first ones to do something around the Atitlan Lake, before it gets too popular?
Are you asking yourself a question: can you walk around Atitlan Lake? Yes, you definitely can! This is exactly what we did!
Atitlan Lake is one of the most well known tourist destinations in Guatemala, and I completely understand it, since it is one of the most beautiful places not only in Guatemala, but is also called as the most beautiful lake in the world. Imagine that!
But most of the time, the Atitlan Lake is visited for only few days, and most of the people either stay in Panajachel (I call it: the tourist town), or in San Marcos (I call it: commercialized hippy town) or in San Pedro (I call it: Israeli town). Maybe some more active travelers explore also the neighboring towns on tuk tuk, kayak or on a boat.
But Atitlan Lake has much more to offer than that! It is not only climbing the Indian Nose to see the sunrise over the lake. It is not only drinking free beer in Santa Cruz or enjoying the views over San Pedro volcano from one of the many hostels in San Pedro or buying souvenirs in Panajachel, that don't even come from the region.
I have been exploring Guatemala and its plethora of hiking opportunities for the last 4 months, and my friend, Abel has been traveling around Central America on a bicycle for the last 9 months (his views on bike travel on budget in Central America:
While admiring the Atitlan Lake from one of the usual hiking trails, we came up with a bit of a crazy idea to circumnavigating the lake on foot.
In July, August and September I was 2018 staying in Jaibalito, which is one of the smallest villages around the lake, since the only option to get there is on a boat, or on foot through hills and mountains. The next town, Santa Cruz is kind of a dead end, since from there it's impossible to get to Panajachel without using the boat.
So that is why we decided to start the hike around the Atitlan Lake from Panajachel, and get back to Jaibalito the longer way - after going through all the villages of the lake.
We calculated more or less 100 km on foot, through Panajachel, Santa Catarina Palopó, San Antonio Palopó, Agua Escondida, San Lucas Tolimán, Cerro de Oro, Santiago de Atitlan, San Pedro la Laguna, San Juan la Laguna, San Pablo la Laguna, San Marcos la Laguna, Tzununa y Jaibalito.
On the first day we took a boat from Jaibalito to one of the jetties in Panajachel, the least known, where they charge 10 quetzales and not 20! So that is a good tip: if taking the boat from Panajachel, get to the pier, which is called Tzanjuyu, it's just at the beginning of the town, before the La Torre supermarket.
On the first day we did only 14 kilometers, but some of it was a good way up. Maps.me indicates approximately 6 hours for that distance.
We went through Santa Catarina, which surprised us with the colorful blue houses and the variety of handcrafts. Then San Antonio de Palopo, where we had some difficulties in finding anything to eat.
In the afternoon we arrived at a lookout point, just 2 kilometers before Agua Escondida. The views were so stunning and the surrounding so welcoming, that we decided to stay there. Since, if a place calls you, just stay where you are.
We pitched the tent in a front line of the lake, and had some basic supper (bread with peanut butter) watching the most amazing sunset over the lake. It was an unforgettable moment!
The first day it didnt rain at all, neither during the day, nor durning the night, which was really quite surprising, since the previous weeks it was always raining at least during the night. After all, we are in the middle of the rainy season in Guatemala!
For the entire 5-day trip, we spent 152 quetzales (22 USD), so the daily expense is approx. 4USD).
I hope you will enjoy the video and the views. And that it will be an inspiration for you to do something alternative, less touristy and well off the beaten track around the Atitlan Lake!
If you know of anyone, who is as much into hiking as me, or you think anyone could benefit from the video, share it with them:)
