Description
This amazing cultural and sightseeing ATV adventure will take around the lake to the villages of San Antonio Palopo, Santa Catarina Palopo and back to the starting point in Panajachel.
On our amazing Lake Atitlan Villages Tour we have brought fun and excitement and mixed it in with the beauty and cultural experiences the lake has to offer. We depart from our office in Panajachel and head over to Barrio Jucanya and visit Playa los Salpores, the local beach located on the edge of the lake to take our first clear view of the lake and its surroundings. After spending some time there we make our way to the colorful village of Santa Catarina Palopo. In this village we are able to see and learn about local weavings, blankets, nahuales and other goods made and sold by the locals. At the plaza of this village, we visit a local coffee house where you can grind your own coffee and taste the locally grown beans. Once finished in Santa Catarina we hop back on our ATVs and continue our ride for a few more kilometers until we get to the village of San Antonio Palopo. Once in San Antonio, we park at the local pier and walk over to the local ceramic factory where we visit and learn about the process to make all these incredible goods. We also visit a local chocolate factory in San Antonio where we learn about the process of turning the cacao into a finished product and get to taste some chocolate as well. Once finished in San Antonio we head back towards our office in Panajachel for a drink.
