Magical Lake Atitlan Guatemala Travel Guide 4K

In this Lake Atitlan travel guide we explore 5 villages around the lake. Including Santiago De Atitlan, San Juan La Laguna, Santa Catarina, San Antonio Palopo and Panajachel. I would say this is the best place to visit in Guatemala because there are many villages to explore around the lake and culture to explore. But best of all is probably going to be the incredible natural beauty and scenery of the lake Atitlan.
There are a few towns around the lake also worth mentioning but we did not go. Such as San Marcos, which is popular with new age explorers, San Pedro La Laguna with foreign tourist and San Lucas for its proximity outside of the lake region to the Pacific Ocean. Our travel guide is from Santa Cruz La Laguna and says that one is the best. If you can get around to many of the towns and villages you will certainly feel culturally enriched and as if you really met the Mayan people.

Lake Atitlán is a body of water in a massive volcanic crater in Guatemala’s southwestern highlands. Ringed by steep, verdant hills, it’s known for its Mayan villages and volcanoes with striking pointed cones

[@blueangel4274]

A Complete Paradise , my favorite Towns ? SAN MARCOS , SANTA CRUZ and SAN PEDRO.

[@antobellog1878]

I love Guatemala. It's definitely one of the countries which exceeded my expectations. Hopefully I ll be back soon again and spend more time.

[@bondedteam626]

I am a native from Pana. I love the breakfast buffet at porta del Lago.

[@lyndasanchez3889]

I am from Guatemala but I will take some friends from US to Atitlán next week 🥰 even tho I'm local tourist your video helped me a lot to show them the places!! I loved all your videos of my country!!!

[@alexwallace6120]

Such a beautiful country! You did a great job of showing it to us .You have a very good camera person .I can't believe no fishing in the lake and no swimming.

[@diegoflynn6215]

No swimming or fishing because of the pollution I was told.

[@ericahymes3780]

This lake is highly Protected by the Mayans Indigenous People's own all that Territories, and is them put their rules for the Turism and Guatemala wildlife no to trash, or used plastic, near their Lake Atitlan. But the Turism understand that and respect 🙏 The Mayan Territories always welcome all of you.🙏

[@ericklou2013]

I love lake Attilan! The fact that you said that is a special place in the world says a lot, coming from someone who has travel around the world. Every time I go to Guate I try to go to Pana. I do swim in the lake though nothing wrong with that just if you do avoid it when the “Xocomil” occurs (afternoons)

[@blueangel4274]

Im Agree with ISLAND HOPPER yes is Magical Special , and i Love the way HOPPER explaiins and Guide the best Places and the Options , very Important for Travelers .

[@janettemasiello5560]

What does that mean - Xocomil occurs ?

[@neal-stewart834]

motorcycle around the lake would be cool

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

why is their no fishing? Is the lake polluted?

[@gustavocabanas61]

Motion sickness is indeed a thing. I’m from Guatemala City, and whenever I go to the countryside I barf. I’m unfazed on a cruise ship, on a plane… but my poor stomach gets upside down with our hilly, up-and-down winding roads. Word to the wise, bring some pills with you.

[@coconutsurvivor03]

Loved this video. My family and I are going to Lake Atitlan in July! My family is Guatemalan and very excited to experience this. Loved how open you were to the experiences!

Hey hows it been there so far? I really want to go but even my Guatemalan friend says its dangerous out there but yk anywhere can be dangerous, so how is ur experience so far? I really want to go to Lake Atitlan

Great video. I have been to the lake many times, the advice I can give about the boat rides is to always sit in the back of the boat. don't feel the waves as much.

[@rockandfkingroll7464]

I spent a few weeks there in 1976 as a Gringo. Beautiful indeed. We took the mailboat around the whole lake. BUT... First off beware it is and evangelical Baptist nation. No hard liquor at all, and trying to just find a beer was really hard. Caught with pot, 10 years. Abject poverty. Gangs, political discord. The biggest earthquake in their history hit while we were camped on the lake. Devastating. Had to walk over bodies in the roads, buses halted, I took notice that it was most of the churches that turned into rubble, biggest highest buildings. Took forever to get back to Mexico and a cold beer. Mexico felt like home. A few upsides. A quetzal is a dollar, no math. Base food pot roast potatoes and carrots. BEST SHIRTS IN THE WORLD.

[@rudolphparedes9856]

The best place to visit in Guatemala…….. is, Guatemala itself…..!!! Boy, the Spanish language pronunciation of that guy narrating, is very poor. He should take advantage, since he’s in the area, to take Spanish lessons and improve in his pronunciation of the language..! If he thinks he doesn’t have to speak the language well….. well, he’s mistaken…..!!!

[@efanjul5768]

There are fish in Lake Atitlan. Black Bass (largemouth) was introduced last century. Unfortunately, it caused the extinction of a rare grebe (pato zambullidor) unique to this lake, but the fish is very good to eat. There are other kinds of fish as well.

[@zoltanszabo9664]

Can I ask for Isaac guide contact?

[@lui5lope73]

[@romyenglish]

It has to be fish in the lake. Why not swimming?

[@IslandHopperTV]

I think it’s lacking fish because of an environmental reason

[@metahduh4003]

I was there 30 years ago.....

[@marvinestupe8627]

To describe it. It's guatemala's santorini or cinque Terre. It goes to show you don't need to travel far to Europe to get a natural experience

[@scottgoldfarb95]

How difficult would a trip like this be for someone that only speaks English?

[@IslandHopperTV]

Do you have Google Translate? That helps a lot.

[@scottgoldfarb95]

@Island Hopper TV Oh, good call. I'm surprised I didn't think of that. I have used that in firearm sales with customers that only speak Spanish and once with Chinese

I was there last week with my two kids and their partners, they loved it and are planning in returning. Also went to Antigua, and returning too, we also went to Tikal. Just a majestic place.
