Santiago Atitlan
V!VA User‘s Description
On the southwest shore of Lake Atitlán, nestled between the volcanic cones of San Pedro, Atitlán and Tolimán, is the lakeside village Santiago Atitlán. Constructed by the Maya in the image of the world as they believed it to exist, it is the largest and most significant of the lakeside communities and a visit here on either a Friday or Sunday-- when the market is in full swing-- will provide you with a vivid insight into rural life in these parts. There is little else to do in Santiago but soak up the tranquility. Some recommend taking a dip in the lake but others report that it is polluted and good for kayaking only. Also, beware of pesky gangs of kids.
