Lake Atitlán
Guatemala's famous lake surrounded by volcanoes. Take a boat ride to San Juan La Laguna and Santiago Atitlan to experience the Mayan culture and impressive views the lake has to offer. Recommended Hotels: Hotel Casa Palopo Casa Prana Hotel Hotel Atitlan Laguna Lodge Jardines del Lago Best Bars: Azul Rosa Circus Bar La Palapa
Tikal Peten
Visit the Mayan ruin park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. We recommend flying to the airport in the city nearby (Flores) and booking a full tour. The park is 576 square km. Recommended hotels: Hotel Isla de Flores Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel Los Amigos Hostel Hotel Casazul Bars (in Flores not in the Mayan ruins): Lacandon Lounge Los Amigos Hostel (full of hippies travelling through Guatemala)
Pacaya
For all of you rock climbing bitches: Enjoy private transportation from Antigua to the Pacaya Volcano National Park entrance where you meet your guide to begin a 1 1/2 hour hike up the volcano. Watch results of the recent eruptions and the volcano smoking and experience incredible views. Hike back down and drive back to Antigua (6 hours). Any time from 6:00am to 1:00pm (1pm last departure time – 6 hour trip) | $160 for 1 or 2 people includes transportation/guide/entrance fees and box lunch. $75 per person for 3 people or more.
Amatitlán
When my parents die, this will be Chris and I's lake house. There is enough space for 10 people. There is a pool (do not recommend swimming in the lake).
