Day Trips in Guatemala:

From Puerto Quetzal to Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala is often called the most beautiful lake in the world — and most travelers agree! The lake is surrounded on all sides by towering mountains and three volcanoes — a view you will never forget!

Situated on the shores of Lake Atitlan are a dozen indigenous towns and villages where Mayan culture and traditions are still very much alive.

Visiting those vibrant communities will give you a great impression of what the lives of modern Mayas in Guatemala is like.

Lake Atitlan is approximately 2.5 hours by shuttle bus from Puerto Quetzal on Guatemala's Pacific coast, which makes it a great destination for a day trip.
