Chichicastenango and Lake Atitlan One day

The market of Chichicastenango is home to what is undoubtedly the most colorful native market in North and Central America, perhaps in the whole Americas. Lake Atitlan is considered one of the most beautiful in the world by many including the famous novelist Aldous Huxley. Three spectacular volcanoes, Toliman, Atitlan and San Pedro are the natural setting of the lake. It has an area of 125 square kilometers and 1,560 meters altitude above the sea level. Important: only Thursday or Sunday are market days.
