Ringed by volcanoes, the changing hues and moving shadows on this mystical lake will have you entranced for hours. From the deck of your lakeside lodge or gliding by boat on the glass-clear water, it takes time to process the sheer beauty of Lake Atitlan. Mayan settlements, colourful textile markets and little villages busy themselves on these shores, and you could spend weeks exploring the highlands and shoreline. Easily combined with a visit to the pretty colonial town of Antigua, Lake Atitlan should not be missed on any trip to Guatemala.
