Crime |
As a resort community Lake Atitlan is one of the safest places in Guatemala. |
Medical Facilities |
Santiago has a small hospital, primarily staffed by foreign doctors and volunteer western medical students. Larger hospitals are found in Guatemala City. |
Transportation |
Guatemala is extremely well serviced by chicken buses, Pullman buses and tourist vans, all of which go wherever you would like to go. All are remarkably inexpensive, although none are entirely safe. Panajachel is 1.5 hours away from Antigua, and 2.5 hours away from Guatemala City. The major towns around the lake are connected by inexpensive lanchas (motorboats). |

What people are saying about Lake Atitlan | |
Safety | |
I feel very safe here. San Pedro La Laguna. Its very beautiful and the people are very accommodating...and generous... Its a poor country by Western standards but the people in general seem very happy. This is one of the pueblos that are on the lake. Its considered (with justification) the party town. Its a Mayan pueblo that attracts people from all over. Very inexpensive and because of the people who have come here has the best restaurants on the lake. Eclectic and fun. | |
