Cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Atitlán and explore the charming village of San Juan La Laguna on this full-day shared sightseeing tour. Framed by the dramatic silhouettes of the Atitlán, Tolimán, and San Pedro volcanoes, Lake Atitlán is the deepest lake in Central America and one of Guatemala’s most stunning natural treasures.
Departing from Panajachel, the gateway to the lake, you’ll enjoy a scenic shared boat ride accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide. Upon arrival in San Juan La Laguna, discover a traditional Tz’utujil Mayan village known for its vibrant culture, relaxed atmosphere, and strong community traditions.
Visit local textile cooperatives, where artisans use natural dyes and centuries-old techniques, and learn about daily life in this authentic lakeside community. Breathe in the rich aromas of nearby coffee plantations, sample freshly ground local coffee, and take in the peaceful rhythm of village life.
Along the way, hear stories about the writers, artists, and beatniks—such as Aldous Huxley—who were drawn to the lake’s beauty and spiritual energy. This experience offers the perfect opportunity to slow down, connect with local culture, and disconnect from the modern world.
