Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan is a huge crater lake surrounded by volcanos.

Accommodation:
-Free Cerveza. It stays true to its name and does give free beer every night for two hours before family dinner.
-Corazon de San Pedro. Very basic but did the job.

My first four nights were spent in Free Cerveza which is in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately I was sick the entire time I was here. The volcano hike had me absolutely floored and it took a lot longer to recover than I thought it would. On the plus side, it was a very lovely place to be unwell. I spent my days lying by the lake and swimming when I could. I got to meet Ellie again, who I had met in Semuc Champey. I had dinner in the evenings with the hostel which was always three courses and cost only £7.50. The hostel is a glamping spot and I spent my four nights sleeping in a teepee tent. The only down side to this was that I was unable to sleep during the day as the tents got so hot.

Unable to extend my stay in the hostel I moved to the area of San Pedro. I booked the only hostel that was available. It was basic but all I needed. I spent the majority of my time here sleeping but finally beginning to feel myself again, one full week after the volcano.

Recommendations:
I can't say a lot about here unfortunately
Book Free Cerveza. It's the most popular hostel on the lake so book well in advance.
