2-Day Chichicastenango and Lake Atitlan Tour from Guatemala City or Antigua
Description
The trip consists of a visit to the open market of Chichicastenango on the first day. On the second day you will be visiting Panajachel and Lake Atitlan on a boat. In Chichicastenango you will be able to explore the indigenous market and be witness of the incessant exchange of fruits, vegetables and handicrafts between local people and foreigners. Lake Atitlán was formed when a volcanic caldera depleted of its magma. Three stately volcanoes, Atitlan, Tolimán and San Pedro rise gracefully from its southern shore, their perfect cones reflected in the azure mirror of the lake. Weaving made and worn by the Maya-Tzutujil and Cakchiquel women who live around the lake and many of the men also wear traditional, hand-woven clothing.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide who made the trip worth the while. Beautiful scenery and introduction to ancestral towns and culture surrounding an amazing view of the volcanoes.
This was a fantastic experience with a very good guide in Davos who is not only knowledgable but personable and lots of fun too! We learned lots and have some super photos to help us remember this experience—actually many experiences! Highly recommend this tour!
<p>Enjoyed very much...guide was very informative and accomodating</p>
<p>This was one of my favorite tours ever. Our tour guide from Guatemalan adventures was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and, especially, the Mayan culture. I've spent several weeks in these areas about six months ago but learned and saw much more on this tour. The hotel in Panajachel was excellent. I toured in many countries and this was in the top five tours I've ever taken</p>
