About

Lake Atitlan

The Lake Atitlan area is still yet to be commercialized and thus remains something of an untamed paradise. That’s not to say that you can’t find some great hotels and restaurants, but by and large, visiting the lake is about visiting nature, exploring and also immersing yourself in authentic local Mayan culture. There are 12 small villages encircling the lake and each offers its own distinct look into the past and present ways of the people who live there. As for the lake itself, situated in the highlands of the Sierra Madres, many say that it has powerful energy fields running through it—regardless of what you believe, it offers some spectacular scuba, swimming and boating opportunities.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
