DESCRIPTION

WHAT TO EXPECT!

Our guide/pilot will pick you up at the door of your hotel. We recommend starting at 05:00 AM in Guatemala City, in this way time will be used more and better. In the mornings you can find the landscape of the lake clearer, both for aerial views and for your boat ride. On the way we will make a stop at a typical restaurant on the road to have our breakfast. We will stop at some viewpoints to observe how the impotent lake becomes present to our sight. On the road we will be able to observe the crops of the highlands of Guatemala, where we will appreciate crops of carrots, broccoli, cabbage, corn and many other varieties that are exported to countries like the USA, Canada and Europe. We will arrive at the town of Sololá where we will appreciate the particularity of the suit of the man who hides the Bat or Tzotz, one of the Mayan deities. The name is a Hispanicized form of its pre-Columbian name, one of whose spelling variants is Tz'olojya. Just 15 minutes from here we will arrive at the departmental capital called San Francisco de Panajachel, called by Guatemalans simply as "Pana", we will go to the main pier to board our boat, which will take us on our journey to see 3 towns of the more than 14 that exist around the lake (wrongly, people say that there are 12 towns with the names of the 12 apostles). We will visit the towns of: Santiago, San Juan and San Pedro la Laguna.

After noon we will return to Panajachel to have lunch or if you decide, ask the guide to recommend a restaurant in one of the towns that are visited. Upon returning to Panajachel you will have a short walk through the main street called Santander where most of the hotels, restaurants and shops are located. Late in the afternoon, you will begin your return to your hotel (Antigua or Guatemala City).
