This is Atitlán

Lake Atitlán is more than just a beautiful destination. It’s one of the most remarkable mountaineering and biodiversity hotspots in Central America, shaped by time, living culture, and powerful natural forces.

  • An Unmatched Landscape for Trekking

    From crater rims to cloud forests, Atitlán’s topography creates some of the most diverse hiking routes in Mesoamerica. Trails climb through ancient lava flows, maize fields, and alpine ridges, with panoramic views that span the volcanic spine of Guatemala.

  • A Geologic Masterpiece

    Formed over 85,000 years ago by the massive Los Chocoyos volcanic eruption, the Atitlán basin is a caldera of immense geological importance. Today, its rim is crowned by three dramatic stratovolcanoes: Atitlán, Tolimán, and San Pedro, each offering physically demanding and geologically rich ascents that challenge and inspire climbers.

  • A Biodiversity Hotspot

    Atitlán’s unique topography and microclimates host over 1,100 species of plants, 450 species of birds, and a wide variety of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Coniferous, broadleaf, dry, and cloud forests coexist in a single mosaic, making every trail a journey through vibrant, interconnected ecosystems.

  • Where Culture and Nature Intertwine

    Surrounding the lake, the Kaqchikel, Tz’utujil, and K’iche’ Maya communities have lived in harmony with the land for centuries. Their agricultural terraces, fishing traditions, and sacred sites are still alive today, offering hikers a rare chance to walk through both cultural and ecological heritage.

  • A Living Laboratory of Earth’s Processes

    Atitlán’s evolving terrain tells the story of our planet in motion: tectonic uplift, volcanic transformation, and ecological resilience. It’s a place where geology meets biodiversity, and where each summit becomes a window into Earth’s past and future.

Ati Community

We believe that the best adventures happen when shared. The Ati Community is a space where outdoor lovers can meet, build friendships, and experience the magic of Atitlán together.

Every activity is designed to inspire awe, spark connection, and leave a lasting positive footprint on the region.
