Reserva Natural Cerro Tzankujil

👍👍 Sometimes San Marcos makes you want to jump off a cliff. This is where you can do it over and over, to your hearts content.
Great spot for swimming. There is a braaiplace and kayaks, too.

La Calle de las Sombrillas
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Even if you are staying in another town this is a must do stop. You don't need to spend more than a day there but enjoy all the small shops and the fresh cocoa restraunts. It's gonna be busy and hot so make sure to have some water.

Tornado's Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 Mein absolutes Lieblingscafé in San Pedro!!! Ich bin während meines Sprachkurses jeden Tag dort gewesen und war sehr traurig, als ich San Pedro verlassen habe. Die Mitarbeitenden sind unglaublich herzlich und mit der Zeit Freunde geworden. ¡Muchas gracias!

Cafe Sabor Cruceño
Restaurant
👍👍 We loved this place and the work they do to give Guatemalans training and a future. The food was excellent and we booked the cookery course for the next day which was super and we got to eat the results in the restaurant. Downstairs the craft work was taking place and we bought some from the shop. T...

Eagle's Nest Atitlán - Yoga, Dance & Community
Resort hotel
🫤 I stayed as a hotel guest & am writing this review to give other potential guests an idea of what to expect. As a first note - the staff actively encourage people to leave a 5* star review in exchange for a free smoothie, so take the other reviews with a heavy pinch of salt.
The views of the proper...

Pita Sabij
Middle Eastern restaurant
👍👍 I can’t speak more highly about a restaurant than this place. I was at first about the almost perfect score. But after trying out their food, I can wholeheartedly say that they deserve a perfect score. The food is not only delicious. It’s also reasonably priced. It comes with an assortment of condim...

Lake Atitlan Spanish School
Language school
👍👍 I spent one week in San Pedro and did three hours of private Spanish classes per day. The course well structured and a good mixture of grammar, vocabulary and conversation practice. Additionally the school had free activities every evening like cooking class, weaving class, salsa class. I stayed in...

Mayan Face / Indian Nose Viewpoint
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Well, perhaps the best view of entire Atitlan. Most people go for sunrise but I decided to go in the afternoon which was amazing because I got the place to myself. The hike is easy (15-20 minutes if you’re fit) but the path is narrow. There are viewpoints along the way. Can’t recommend this place en...

Jakuu
Guatemalan restaurant
👍👍 We walked in and wanted to leave straight away. The location is not nice, it looks like a normal backyard. Luckily we stayed! By far the best food on Lago de Atitlan. It's healthy food and has large portions. Not the best location, but the prices are really good, simply the best food in town. Would...

Parque La Puerta Hermosa
City park
👍👍 Nice park with some photo spots and a wonderful little church. Think of it as a little oasis of green and peacefulness, in what can be a hectic and frenetic city. Wander for a spell. Rest on the benches. Take some photos and just relax.

Cafe Bakery & Restaurant Idea Connection - Fata Morgana Group
Restaurant
👍👍 Best place for pasta on the lake. It beats all American, Guate or Mexican places I’ve been too for pasta 🍝 the only thing is, it can get super noisy with immigrants/expats so expect to hear a lot of loud English. I would recommend coming when it’s raining, about to close or just opening to avoid th...

The Fifth Dimension
Vegetarian restaurant
👍👍 The Fifth Dimension was my favourite restaurant in San Pedro, they have lots of vegan options and everything is very yummy! I recommend in particular the stir fry with tempeh and the pizza. The staff is extremely kind and the view on the lake is incredible 🫶🏽
