Description

Start the day with a trip from Antigua or Guatemala City to the Maya town of Panajachel. During the drive there will be a brief stop in Katok, a very famous restaurant where you can indulge in a hot drink.

Once at Panajachel, it's time for a boat trip to cross Lake Atitlán and visit the Tzutuhil Village of Santiago de Atitlán. In this village you will visit the confraternity of the local saint named Maximon or Ri Laj Mam, visited by people all over the world who come to ask for health and prosperity in their lives.

The lake itself owes its grandeur to its enormous size and spectacular volcanic setting.

You will experience these views and the traditional practices still carried out by the Maya-Tzutujil and Cakchiquel women who live around the lake.
