Lake Atitlan

Surrounded by volcanoes, steep hillsides and villages where traditional Mayan culture meet the international travel scene, the Lago Atitlán 4,97 miles or 8 km. across from north to south, 11,18 miles or 18 km from east to west, and averaging around 984,25 ft or 300m deep, is one of the most beautiful and fascinating bodies of water. Many travellers have fallen in love with it and made their homes here. It’s a two-hour bus ride west from Guatemala City or Antigua. The main lake-side town is Panajachel most people initially head here to launch their Atiltán explorations. Arriving in Panajachel we will continue by boat over the lake visiting the villages of Santiago de Atitlan, San Antonio Palopo and Santa Catarina Palopo. After the lake tour we return to Antigua.

After the eruption of the volcano Santiaguito everything of the little village Viejo Palmar was destroyed. Now Viejo Palmar (also called it’s Guatemala´s Pompeii) seems like an inhabitable ghost town. Near El Asintal, Retalhuleu we will visit Takalik Abaj (standing stone), the oldest archaeological site in Guatemala, where once the Olmecs and Mayans lived and mingled. Maya styles stela 5 bears the long count date of 125 AD while a pure Olmec style were-jaguar is carves on a nearby boulder dates even far earlier. Recent excavations have uncovered temples, ceremonial platforms, wood carvings and ceramic plus large Olmec heads. You can also see the artifacts found on the site in the local museum and enjoy the botanical garden with more than 200 different species of plants and flowers typical of the area. The tour continues with a visit to the coffee, rubber and sugarcane plantation at Finca San Isidro. On the plantation we will have a tour showing the different products and statues you will encounter on the Finca. You will see that much processing and human labour is required before coffee berries and its seeds can be processed into the roasted coffee. The roasting process has a great degree of influence on the taste of the final product. You will taste it after the tour with of course a nice cop of coffee after lunch which will be served in the house of the landowners! On request, a real Maya priest can give you all the explanations about this fascinating site, and at the end you have the opportunity to perfume in a Maya ceremony on the Takalik Abaj site.

Monterrico is one of the most famous beaches of Guatemala´s Pacific coast and has become well known for its two nearby nature preserves Biotopo Monterrico and Hawaii National. Monterrico is the best place for a weekend break at the beach, close to Antigua! The black sand beach stretches for miles and miles and is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunsets. Swimming is only recommended close to the shore. There is a strong undertow and the waves crash down quite forcefully. When the sky is clear, keep you eyes peeled for the awesome volcanoes that shimmer in the hinterland.
