We had a wonderful time during this trip. Our guide Gustavo was very knowledgeable about the surroundings and Guatamalan history. He was also a very nice person in general and we really enjoyed our conversations with him. Lake Atitlan + Santiago were beautiful, and even the route to get there was quite scenic. The tour didn't feel rushed and we had ample time to take photos. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip in Guatamala. Thanks!

Oscar was the best tour guide. We were picked up in a van with another couple. The van does have seatbelts but be prepared for a 3 hour drive from antigua. The drive wasn’t bad at all. We went to San Juan per his request and it was amazing.

Full description

Start the day with a trip from Antigua or Guatemala City to the Maya town of Panajachel. During the drive there will be a brief stop in Katok, a very famous restaurant where you can indulge in a hot drink.

Once at Panajachel, it's time for a boat trip to cross Lake Atitlán and visit the Tzutuhil Village of Santiago de Atitlán. In this village you will visit the confraternity of the local saint named Maximon or Ri Laj Mam, visited by people all over the world who come to ask for health and prosperity in their lives.

The lake itself owes its grandeur to its enormous size and spectacular volcanic setting. Three large volcanoes, Atitlán Tolimán and San Pedro, rise gracefully from its southern shore, creating breathtaking views around the area. You will experience these views and the traditional practices still carried out by the Maya-Tzutujil and Cakchiquel women who live around the lake.

After a short transfer, we will have lunch at one of the most exquisite restaurants of Panajachel. While in town, guestes will also Santander Street and experience its vast, bustling handicraft market.

Our trip was absolutely beautiful. The views from the city through the mountains and farmlands to Lake Atitlan were amazing, as well as our tour guide! We loved that he was always there with us every step of the way. He was quite knowledgeable of all the current and past events of the country and always cheerful and upbeat. He even went so far as to contact us the night before so that we knew who to expect/what vehicle to look out for in the morning. The weather forecasted rain, but we didn’t see much of it. The weather along the lake was a bit foggier than expected, but once we got to the little town, it was all sunshine. Although breakfast and lunch is not included, there are many pit stops to and from the Lake, as well as restroom breaks. So, I wouldn’t worry about that too much. I would definitely recommend this tour!
