Overview

Leave the noise of Panajachel behind and set out on one of Lake Atitlán’s most rewarding paddling journeys. This full-day adventure traces the lake’s rugged northern shoreline, passing Santa Catarina Palopó and continuing on to San Antonio Palopó—a village renowned for its steep hillsides, blue-painted houses, and rich Kaqchikel traditions. Along the way, you’ll glide beneath dramatic cliffs, swim in secluded coves, and take in sweeping views of the surrounding volcanoes. With coffee or tea and light snacks to keep you fueled, the return paddle across open waters offers a challenging yet unforgettable way to experience the wild beauty of Atitlán—powered entirely by your own paddle.
