Panajachel Travel Blogs

At about 2.30pm we headed to our new hotel which was in the town of Panajachel, situated on the shores of Lake Atitlan. I had heard from some other travelers that I had spoken to in Belize say that it was a beautiful part of Guatemala and not to be missed so I looked forward to seeing if it would l…

In the evening we had dinner in Panajachel in a restaurant overlooking the lake. The biggest attraction here was the menu - brilliant how the Spanish menu has been translated into English. My favourites were Chiken Frait (fried chicken), Chiken in a Barbacu (grilled chicken) and Srimp Special White…

We woke up early today, 6AM, so that we could catch the one bus that left the station at 7AM for Panajachel.  It turned out that that was pretty much irrelevant and we could have caught any bus but it worked out in the end because we got there early and could still enjoy the day and some of th…

If i remember correctly, the bus ride from Antigua to Lake Atitlan was about 3 hours (give or take 30 minutes). The ride was pretty uneventful and i fell asleep a couple times. We passed through several small towns/villages one looking much like the next. Two things really stuck out to me tho. The …

I decided to go to guatemala to improve my spanish, work as a volunteer and travelling around central america. why guatemala? cause it was the cheapest country and in my opinion the most interesting one.

A very beautiful travel to Guatemala, little bit of Honduras, Belize and little bit of Southern Mexico. I saw great places, enjoyed very funny activities and meeting some very nice people (You are one of them Juan Carlos!)

Travelling the "Maya route" through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize with a group

Before actually arriving at our destination, we had a quick stop in Sololá before going on our way to Panajachel.  Another pretty town, similar to Chichi, with lots and lots of colors all over!   Panajachel is another must-see town if in the area.  Beautiful town on Lake A…

Panajachel is a cute little town, when we got there it was pouring so we went right away to check in at our hotel. We stayed at the Tzutujil hotel, the view you got from the roof of the hotel were just amazing. The people who run it were extremely nice and helpful. Unfortunately, I can't say the sa…

My second trip to Guatemala to be in a friend's wedding and explore more of a country I love.

Came directly from El Salvador and headed straight to Antigua... which is an incredibly beautiful city, cobbled stone streets, small stores, awesome public squares....  I spent two days in Antigua. The first night, I found a hostal and the second night I was able to get a hold of someone throu…

Welcome! This is my LIVING AROUND THE WORLD blog. I took off from Chicago on April 8, 2007 and I aspire to spend the next several years in a backpacker mode. These days I'm living in Latin America www.dorosevich.com has more details

In november 2006 we travelled aproximately 4.000 km from the really crowded Mexico-City to the relaxed city of Antigua. Not only beautiful nature, friendly people but also al lot of experiences during the 21 days traveling through the Central Americans.
