Here you'll find amazing handicrafts created by the indigenous Maya people as you witness an incessant exchange of fruits and vegetables. Next to the market stands the Church of Santo Tomas, a 16th-century church where you can observe age-old Mayan rituals being performed. Filling an enormous caldera and surrounded by volcanoes and traditional Mayan villages, Lake Atitlan has become renowned for its indescribable beauty and unique cultural history. Spend a day on a guided boat tour of the lake and surrounding towns, then experience the nightlife of Panajachel.

Me gustan las opciones que presentan para viajes, y el tours hacia los pueblos del lago de Atitlán me encantaron. Aunque sería recomendable en cada lugar dar unas 2 horas para quedarse. También es recomendable desde el inicio poner las opciones con precio de diferentes hoteles, para que el cliente pueda escoger desde el inicio. Y también se recomienda que con el transporte se reserven los asientos de cada viajero, porque en los microbuses son incomodos los asientos pequeños y si se cambia de microbus, lo sientan donde queda disponible.

relacion precio-calidad es mala

los hoteles ofrecidos son de una estrella, sucios y deprimentes., y no ers que el paquete sea barato, es que no se esfuerzan por dar un mejor servicio, con 20 dlls mas por noche estarian mejor los hoteles,
