Destinations in Guatemala
Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan is one of Guatemala's top tourist destinations and most visitors agree with Aldous Huxley, who called it the most beautiful lake in the world.
Map of Lake Atitlan

Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala, surrounded by mountains and three volcanoes.

Located in the department of Solola in the Guatemalan highlands, Lake Atitlan is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes, which make for a magnificent background and highlight the lake's beauty. The forests around the lake are also one of the last habitats of the Quetzal, Guatemala's national bird. (more)

Under the Volcanoes

Taken outside my bedroom window at Posada Dona Clara's in the beautiful historical town of Antigua, Guatemala, full of Spanish Colonial architecture. It was a town of monasteries, convents and churches which have been lovingly restored. The first two months I stayed there were the best two months of my life ~ since I came back from Paris, France in 1985. Love living in Guatemala; "poor man's Hawaii" and Paradise. How lucky to have found my way there! Never would have guessed it in a million years.
