Panajachel Inns - Reviews and Rates

Hola, After 16 days our GAP trip around Guatemala has finally come to an end... sniff, we´ve gotten pretty close with our little group - Super Chad (our fearless leader), Demian, Leah and Steve (Cutest spider killing couple ever), Angharid (little one), Shelley, Céline, and Lisa! After our rest time in the hippie village we were off to Rio Dulce...

Chimaltenango, Panajachel, Tzanjuhu and Huehuetenango are just a few examples of names that the north american tongue must slur over when travelling and conversing in Guatemala. How easy it seems to us now to say these words compared to our earlier experiences in Latin America.  The task of driving through Guatemala city turns out to be not so d...

We stayed in a nice, clean house on Calle Navidad, about a 10 minute walk from the school. Our host mother was very nice and always sat with us at meals even if she wasn't eating. The family also had a 5 year old son and a husband. The meals were very good, usually something typically Guatemalan, which we liked. The house had a nice modern kitch...

Today we began our informal classes. I´ve forgotten so much of my K'iche'. Sergio speaks fast, trying to prepare us for the rapid tongues of Nahuala. Being much more of a visual learner, I find myself writing every question/answer/phrase/word. I need to by a fresh notebook. Razors too. I haven´t shaved since mmm... last Monday, maybe? I´ve neve...

So, nun bin ich hier am Lake atitlan angekommen. Das Wetter hier ist nicht besonders, d.h. es hat zwar trotzdem 30 Grad, es ist aber bewoelkt! ;) aus diesem Grund habe ich auch keinen Vulkanbesteigung gemacht und bin lieber mit dem Boot um den See gefahren und habe mir die Ortschaften angesehen.

I stayed in a different lakeside town on Lake Antillean each of the past three nights thinking there may be something more interesting in the next town up. San Pedro, San Marcos, and Panajchel. As it turns out, since I had already stayed at two volcanic lakes in Nicaragua, the experience of this lake was relaxing as they all are but otherwise un...

Crossroads Cafe (www.crossroadscafepana.com), is home to some of the best coffee I have ever had. If y'all wondered why I travel all over the world, it's for little places like this, run by a great guy named Mike (a California transplant) who has some truly excellent coffee. An American guy making coffee? This is why you come to Guatemala? Welll...

We get a lancha back to Pana anda wander the streets in the heat to find somewhere to stay and end up at Posada Vinas del Lago which overlooks the lake and is 100Q for a private bathroom room and tv. Then out to wander this town which is quite big and pretty touristy with stalls of tourist tat, restaurants and bars and then further up the older ...

We´re just about ready to leave this morning, just stopped off to do a little internet where it´s available. We will be crossing the highest point on the inter-american highway this morning. Also known as the Pan-American Highway. Am still despairing of a decent cup of coffee. Jack has a coffee maker in his bag so we make coffee every morning in...
