Más de 500 personas de 20 países latinoamericanos se darán cita en Quetzaltenango para participar de un evento cultural, artístico y social del 20 al 30 de enero de 2012.

LagoMap Cover

Welcome to Lago Atitlán! You’ve made your way to one of the most beautiful places in the world, and we’re sure that you’ll enjoy it here. Atitlán has a lot to offer each of the villages around the lake has it’s own character and attraction. LAGOMAP’s goal is to highlight some of the places around the lake that you might want to visit and to help you find your way around while you are here.

Here at Lake Atitlán you can: hike volcanoes, go on a kayaking adventure, swing in hammocks, take a meditation course, enjoy sunrises and sunsets, study Spanish or one of the local languages, eat great food, scuba dive, party, hear good music, learn how to give massages, just receive a massage, watch movies, learn how to weave, just relax or… well, the list is endless. Some of this stuff might be obvious (hammocks are everywhere!), but for details on how to find or do some of the rest, see the section Things To Do.

This is the second edition of LAGOMAP. We’re always looking for ways to improve and new things to add, so please, if you have any comments or suggestions let us know at sean@xelaspace.com! Also be sure to check out our website at www.lagomap.com.

Lake Atitlán is a breathtaking place, full of fun and adventure. We’re sure you’ll have a good time!

There are lots of ways you can volunteer and help out around the Lake — we’re just listing a few of them here. If you wander around you’ll see lots of other ways to contribute! If you’re looking for something in particular, we suggest you talk to the owners of The Buddha or D’Noz in San Pedro or ask in any of the Spanish schools around the lake.

Transportation

Posted on July 21, 2010 by

As one of the most visited attractions in Guatemala, getting to and from Lake Atitlán is not difficult. The most common methods are by public bus and by tourist shuttle. We’ve also heard of people arriving by helicopter, but it’s certainly not for everyone (if you want to do this ask at the Guatemala City airport). The regular, so-called “chicken”-buses have direct service to and from Panajachel and San Pedro from both Quetzaltenango (Xela) and Guatemala City. If you have another destination you can easily change buses on the main highway or at Los Encuentros, a main crossroads on the highway outside of Panajachel. Shuttles run from the lake to all over the country (and Mexico).

Buses
Pana – Sololá Q2.50
Sololá – Los Encuentros Q3
Pickups
San Pedro – San Juan Q2
San Juan – San Pablo Q3
San Pablo – Santa Clara Q5
Tuktuks

Thinks to Do

Posted on July 21, 2010 by

Hike: The San Pedro and Atitlán Volcanoes are the most climbed of the three volcanoes, along with the Indian’s Nose above San Juan and the smaller Cerro de Oro.

Kayak: There are several rental places in San Pedro, with others scattered around the lake.
Study: There are many Spanish schools in both Panajachel and San Pedro. You are also able to find private teachers in many places around the lake. Ask at hotels and hostels for more information.
Scuba Dive: ATI Divers in Santa Cruz and Reyes Divers in Panajachel both offer fairly cheap dives. Reyes Divers organizes cleaning events every month or so. Ask there if you are interested in helping out.
Music: San Pedro and Panajachel each have live music every night. Particularly check out The Buddha in San Pedro and Pana Rock in Panajachel.
Movies: Peliculas can be seen every night at multiple bars in San Pedro. The schedule is advertised around town.
