In reply to Elliot Rivera. Thanks so much for sharing your insights and memories about Guatemala, Elliot. It must have been an incredible experience to have spent your formative years in such a beautiful region. Your family's Hotel Atitlan is stunning - the views of the volcanoes and the gardens are spectacular. And truly breathtaking as you say!

Hello, from Prior Lake, Minnesota, USA. Although it has been a while since I last visited, I have many relatives on my late father’s side that reside in Guatemala. From Guatemala City, to Antigua, to Quetzaltenango to Panajachel. There are two hotels in Panajachel that are owned by my family there. Hotel Atitlan and Hotel Tzanjuyu. My cousin also started, owns and runs the Atitlan Nature Reserve there. I spent the first six years of my life living between Guatemala City and Panjachel. Lake Atitlan is so beautiful. No matter how many times I have been there, it still takes my breath away every time I see it.

Despite all the included warnings, and linked posts, I do want to get back to Guatemala. We spent too little time there, most of which was spent hiking to El Mirador. There’s so much more there, as you’ve shown in welcome detail. Thanks.

I’ve been to Guatemala but not to Panajachel. I’d love to take in the views of Lake Atitlan and shop at the Mayan markets. And I LOVE your whimsical apartment!

We spend three months a year in our timeshare in Mazatlan and I know Guatemala is easy to get to from there. It would be nice to spend some time around Lake Atitlan, especially if it is likened to Lake Como. It;s just so sad that you cannot swim on the lake. But there ‘s a lot of history and culture to explore. Thanks.

In reply to melody pittman. That's so cool that you have a house in Panama! I loved our visit there. It's easy to fly between Guatemala and El Salvador ...not so sure about Panama though. But hopefully you'll make it to Guatemala some day soon!

Mayan Temezcal…I love them! Have done a few in Mexico. 😉 Panajachel looks like a great place to visit. Guatemala is on my radar and I price the air with every visit to my house in Panama. Someday soon I will get there. 😉
