A couple of tourists sit on the dock in Panajachel as the sun sets over Lago de Atitlan, a volcanic crater lake in Guatemala


A young couple on holiday watch the blue skies and sunset over Lago de Atitlan in Guatemala, as the scene reflects deeply on the calm water of the crater lake where boats are moored. The docks at Panajachel, a tourist town and travel hub for other destinations in the Lake Atitlan area, give the sightseers and adventurers a beautiful view of San Pedro Volcano and Volcan Atitlan. Water taxis and public ferries go back and forth multiple times daily to destinations around the Lake. Mayan culture is very prominent in most of the villages surrounding the lakeshore, and many traditional handicrafts and ways of life are displayed throughout. Lake Atitlan has become an increasingly popular destination over the last few years from Backpackers, thrill seekers, and those looking for a quiet semi-tropical jungle escape.
