Lago de Atitlán

After the first kind of frustrating hiking trip to volcano Acatenango we were searching for a place to rest and relax. We found this place at a AirBnb in San Pedro at Lake Atitlan. We had a room a bathroom and a small kitchen in the house of a young family. A perfect base camp to explore the lake and all the other little villages around it. We had absolutely stunning weather during our stay.

We went to Jaibalito to eat some Spätzle at Hans’ place (thank you for the recommendation Jule & Marcel 😋). That made us feeling at home for a moment! To find a nice spot for flying the drone we hiked a bit across the hills between Jaibalito and San Marcos.
The best spot for swimming and jumping into the crystal clear water was at Mirador San Marcos, a little park with beautiful spots to access the lake.
A trip to the “spiritual” village San Marcos itself is also worthy. Yoga retreat, meditation and massages available at every corner. Not my world but fun to see 😅
Atitlan and San Pedro gave us everything we we’re looking for. We used the time to plan the upcoming weeks, to take care about all the footage and videos and also to motivate ourselves to give the hike to Acatenango another try 😉🌋Read more
