Lake Atitlán, in the department of Sololá, is consolidated as one of the most visited tourist attractions in Guatemala.
Its waters are of great purity, reaching levels of 99% in the central parts of the lake.
It is the deepest lake in Central America and is located in a volcanic caldera called "Los Chocoyos", which approximately 84,000 years ago was formed by a tremendous volcanic eruption.
Findings of local ash have been reported as far as Ecuador, and ironically, such a colossally destructive event shaped the seat of the most beautiful lake in the world.
On its shores of Lake Atitlán, high quality coffee is grown, forming part of the repertoire of flavors typical of Guatemala.
It is recognized as a lake of majestic beauty, and travelers from all over the world, who began a trip in order to make stops in different countries, have been forced to suspend their plans and stay in the place indefinitely.
The Lake is located two hours from Guatemala City, although the journey is multiplied by bus. In addition, to get to the lake, you have to cross quite mountainous terrain, which makes the journey even slower.
Around Lake Atitlán, the towns provide different environments to tourists, from the characteristic peace of Santa Cruz la Laguna and San Pedro, highly visited places, to the party atmosphere and parranda of Panajachel, the most popular point of Sololá.
