Overview
Embark on one of Lake Atitlán’s most thrilling paddling expeditions: a full crossing from Panajachel to Santiago Atitlán. Over the course of 12 km, you’ll glide across the heart of the lake, where the water opens to 360° views of towering volcanoes, distant villages, and the ever-changing morning sky. The journey includes a rest stop on the wild southern shores near Cerro de Oro—perfect for a swim and a snack—before finishing in the calm bay of Santiago, home to the Tz’utujil people. Few experiences capture the immensity and magic of Atitlán like crossing it under your own power.

Why Ati Adventures
Adventure with Purpose
See Why
We craft experiences that are as meaningful as they are thrilling. Whether you're summiting a volcano or hiking through ancestral forests, our trips are curated to spark curiosity, reflection, and respect for the land.
Conservation Through Regenerative Travel
See Why
We believe adventure should give back. Every ATI tour directly supports the protection of Atitlán’s natural parks, ecosystems, and watersheds. We plant trees, partner with municipalities and NGOs, and host community events that invite locals to explore their own landscapes — ensuring tourism restores, not depletes, this fragile region.
Locally Owned & Community Powered
See Why
ATI Adventures is a locally owned, registered business rooted in Lake Atitlán. Our founders have over 30 years of combined guiding experience, and our local guides bring cultural insight, deep knowledge of the land, and a commitment to keeping tourism benefits in the community.
Safety in Every Step
See Why
From meticulous route planning to high-quality gear and trained first-aid responders, we make sure every detail is in place so you can focus on the adventure, not the risks.
