7 Bodies of Water in Western Highlands That You Shouldn't Miss

February 19, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

Guatemala’s spectacular Western Highlands run from Antigua to the Mexican border. Pines blanket misty hillsides, rivers cascade through sliver-thin ravines, volcanoes rumble overhead. Catch market day or witness offerings to drinking, smoking St. Maximon, in Chichicastenango. See traditional life in the Ixil Triangle. Clamber the Cuchumatanes Mountains. Mayan dialects and ceremonies are still part of everyday life for the majority of Guatemala’s indigenous population, living where their ancestors trod.

Lago de Atitlan

Reviewed By chrisaT9240NB - London, United Kingdom

Really enjoyed being here and visiting villages. Stayed near sleepy Santa Catarina de Palopo but had bumpy boat rides to Santiago de Atitlan, San Juan and San Pedro. Each of the villages were different, and vibrant with colours, lurking volcanoes, goods for sale and fun visits, San Juan, Picturesque and arty, Santiago, interesting and San Pedro commercialised for backpackers, at least near lakeside

Laguna Chicabal

It's nt an easy hike so one must be in shape. Beuatiful and serene and considered to be a sacred place by the local Maya folk. Bring a light jacked as it can chilly.
