Lake Atitlan from inside

In Guatemala, land of the eternal spring, Lake Atitlán is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Unique weather, spring temperature all year round, fantastic volcanos and sunset views and living Mayan culture make it a place to enjoy life and savour time. Neither to say this is a young territory that sometimes get hit by earthquakes, huracan storms or volcanic eruptions... Sounds scary well it is sometimes inconvenient because we can lose electricity for 4 days or get cut from the city for some days... but when the sun shine again well it makes the fears go away. Plus to see the locals dealing with all these natural disasters is a great source of humility and inspiration. And let me tell you it is a great place to live...

 

Now designated as one of the top destination of the year 2011.
