For many locals around Lake Atitlán, the quickest way to commute and run errands between towns is by crossing the lake in local boats. So, naturally, we’ll follow their lead - the views from the water are even more breathtaking! Our first stop is the charming town of San Marcos, known for its laid-back, bohemian vibe and its tranquil nature reserve right by the water—perfect for a refreshing swim. Next, we'll head to San Juan, where we'll spend the night in a local homestay with local Mayan families. During a traditional dinner, we'll have the opportunity to learn some Mayan phrases and, of course, practice a bit more of our Spanish.
