Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan is a deep blue lake surrounded by three tall volcanoes in the Guatemalan highlands. Small villages full of color sit along its calm shores.

Many people call it one of the most beautiful lakes in the world because of its shining water and towering volcanoes. Families love riding little boats between the friendly lakeside towns.
