Lake Atitlan Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Magnifique journée!

En arrivant au Zephir à 23:00, nous prenons un dortoir à 10 personnes, car c'est tout ce qu'il reste comme place. Roseline et moi dormons dand le même petit lit, car il fait froid et nous avons seulement un drap! Comme de fait, nous avons gelé toute la nuit. Roseline s'est habillée en long durant la nuit! Il fait environ 10! Le matin, nous nous …

San Pedro Day 29

Christmas and the last day in San Pedro! Up around 9 walked around until we ran into a Christmas themed brunch. Ate cookies, sausages and bacon wrapped plaintains until I felt a bit sick. Called family on Skype briefly. Went back to the house roof, worked out, appreciated the view, and read. Went to Buddha for the last time, played cards, ate and …

San Pedro Day 26

Woke up a bit slowly this morning. Got to school, paid my $160 (20 hours instruction plus room and board for the week). Felt great about class. Luis just keeps talking faster and faster. At breakfast actually the host families father asked me a question in Spanish and I came back with a simple answer immediatly, without needing to translate in my …

San Pedro Day 21

Slept in until 8, about all I can seem to manage these days. When I awoke I could hear the wind gusting hard. So much for kayak today. Slow breakfast, did homework and internet things, visited the gym, massive lunch, una siesta antes de la fiesta. Three weeks solid in San Pedro now and tomorrow makes two months living out of a backpack. I added up …

San Pedro Day 12

Was up too late just talking, hanging out. Plus they were setting off huge bombas (fireworks) because of the holiday here. So every half hour when I did finally go to bed I was jumping out of my skin. Because of the lack of sleep, after class I took a 4 hour nap to catch up. After nap, conversation club, grabbed some tacos (this will come back to …

The Lake

Sometime in the early hours of a dreary Sunday morning we boarded a bus to take us to the small village of San Pedro la Laguna which stands on the stunning Lake Atitlan, one of the most beautiful lakes in Guatemala and possibly the world. Following a 4-bus, 10-hour bus(es) journey we arrived in the lakeside town of Panajachel. Now all that stood in …

Lake Atitlan's Contrasting Communities

Having spent over two weeks in and around San Pedro La Laguna it is really easy to understand how people do get stuck here for months or, in some cases, years. Some open businesses, others work for NGO's or voluntary organisations, and others just.....well who knows what they do :-) But, in a place where you can live, as a couple, on US$25 or less …

San Pedro Day 1

Lots of travel today. Said goodbye to the host family, packed up and headed over to our meeting point. Ate a huge egg burrito, chatted until 11, then took a collectivo to the bus station. Six people with full backpacks takes up quite a bit of space. Lead the group through a crowded market to the bus. Crazy fast bus driver took us very quickly to …

LoveLEE San Pedro

Four of us departed Gringolandia (aka Antigua) with a tourist shuttle bus (think Cape Town mini-van taxi) bound for San Pedro - Dee, Mr Lee, Manuela from Austria and Evan from the States. Manuela had been travelling northwards through Latin America since January after spending 6 months in Colombia working for a local newspaper and learning Spanish …
