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.

This 15-bedroom retreat on the shores of Lake Atitlan is a rare and special experience. The house was once a family home, and Casa Palopo has not lost touch with its warm welcome.
With a complex history that spans over 800 years, you will need the company of an engaging and knowledgeable guide to get the most from your visit to Tikal. This Mayan stronghold was the largest in The Americas, once home to a population of somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 people.
Exploring the beautiful city of Antigua with its backdrop of perfectly formed volcanoes and faded Spanish architecture is like being on a movie set. Stroll beneath Spanish arches and cathedral squares and enjoy the bittersweet scent of fresh coffee and chocolate that touches the warm breeze.
