Aldous Huxley famously wroted that the Lago de Atitlan "really is too much of a good thing." There's a lot to be said about that. Lake Atitlan, as it's known in English, is about 340 meters deep and is the deepest lake in Central America. The several volcanoes surrounding the lake is speckled with traditional Mayan villages. To get between the villages you either take a boat or a boda-boda. It's a land rich in farming, as many of the villagers have coffee plantations, as well as avocado and corn farms. Each village is known for it's ornate textile designs, which the villagers humbly wear each day. You'll also hear the loud singing of children during the afternoon evangelical radio prayers. Lake Atitlan has become the hang out spot for the New Age crowd and cultural and ecological conservationists.
