Tourasco Travel T/a Tourasco Group: Atitlan Lake

Atitlan Lake Guatamala

Lake Atitlán is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range. It is in the Sololá Department of northern Guatemala. "Atitlan" means "at the water" in Nahuatl. The main tourist attraction is the Indian's Nose at the top of the mountain above the cities of San Juan and San Marcos. It is accessible through various tracks and there are also organised trips with horses to the top. Lying in the country's most western highlands, the country's most beautiful place is the pure and blue Lake Atitlan. A large collapsed volcanic cone can be found right at Lake Atitlan. The descendants of the ancient place called Maya, even today live off the land which is rich in ash and other minerals. The maize farming methods through the years have still been the same, this is because the local people have made an effort so that they don’t change their old ways of living.
