What a sight: Lago Atitlan

Link By Thushan Amarasiriwardena | January 21st, 2008

Moving on, we head out of Xela, again on a chicken bus, to Central America’s deepest lake. Picture perfect Lago Atitlan and its conical volcanoes, dominates the scene, and this photo gallery of our day in Panajachel.

Ey Thushan, Supongo que ya estas hecho un latino. Hay que probar el te americano (con ron porsupeuesto), no simplemente el cafe. Me alego que todo va mas o menos bien. Cuidado con el super bowl –es solo para los guiris. Hasta el futuro,

Tyson

I am so excited that y’all made it to Lago de Atitlán. The pictures are beautiful.

Do people swim in the lake? Or use it for any sort of recreation besides boat tours? It looks rather desolate.

Dudes!
Fabulous photos! I’d really like more of the human drama. What’s your story?
