On This Page:Panajachel Travel Guide
Panajachel is the gateway to Lake Atitlán. It's the largest city on the lake's shore and the most easily accessible by car and bus from the rest of Guatemala. Boats leave from Panajachel throughout the day to the various towns and villages that ring Lake Atitlán. Many, including me, find Panajachel a bit too chaotic and crowded, so the quieter villages and isolated hotels around the lake are your best bet. Still, Pana, as it's most commonly known, offers a wealth of dining, shopping, and tour options, and you can't beat the views, with the three major volcanoes—San Pedro, Toliman, and Atitlán—clearly visible from anywhere along the lakeshore.
