Lake Atitlan Travel Blogs

Alejandro, our driver, arrived exactly at 10AM.  His car was comfortable enough and we were pleasantly surprised to see that he was bringing his 8 year old daughter, Sofia, along for the trip.  She had never seen Lago de Atitlan before and asked her father if she could come too (a little …

"What really counts in life is that at some time you have seen something, felt something, which is so great, so matchless, that everything else is nothing by comparison, that even if you forgot everything, you would never forget this."
