Vista de Pájaro
Observation deck
👍👍 We had a nice time at this lookout. We met Walter, the artist behind the mirador and he told us about his work and he volunteered to take our pictures. The views were awesome.
It costs Q10 per person.
Note: We passed the entrance the first time because the sign was higher up than we expected. Alth...

Freedive Atitlan
Diving center
👍👍 Went intending to stay for a few days and ended up there for 3 weeks. Awesome place with plenty to explore, besides the first class freediving experience. Tim is a great teacher of the water and life in general. He’ll find a way to put a smile on your face. Truly magical place.
And if you find my e...

Konojel Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 Great food, good prices, owned by locals, and all the proceeds support local causes in San Marcos (like programs for education, healthy babies, and women’s financial independence). There’s a ton of foreign own spots owned by ‘woke’ hippies that are overcharging and driving up the costs of the local...

Orbita Spanish School
School
👍 Orbita Spanish School was perfect for our needs. It is one on one Spanish geared to your level and your desires. The teachers are wonderful, going out of their way to make the experience fun . . .and they know exactly what they are doing. Both my husband and I improved our Spanish in one week. Even...

La Iguana Perdida
Hostel
😠 This hostel has so much false advertising. While physically scenic with a great view, the actually hostel is so not worth it. I had a private room and the sheets smelled musty like either they were not clean or they were left in the washer too long before drying, which is so unappealing. I paid for...

Trailhead to Mirador Kaqasiiwaan, San Juan la Laguna
Tourist attraction
🫤 Ok if you are hiking up to the Indian Nose Viewpoint from here be warned it is extremely difficult with almost 4km of incline. The track is not maintained at all and there are no signs anywhere where you come to the junction points. Best to download maps.me before you go.
We paid 30q per person to e...

Mirador Kaqasiiwaan
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The walk to the Mirador Kaqasiiwaan is not very long, about 600 meters from the village edge, but has a fairly steep gradient of about 10%. But the climb is definitely worth it, because the view is fantastic! You have an unobstructed view of the magnificent Lago de Atitlán, the villages of San Juan...

Bar Sublime
Bar
🫤 Nice place, good drinks, good music. But do not eat the food. I’ve been here three times and every time I get food poisoning. Other than that, really nice place to grab a drink with a view from the lake.

Papi San Pedro La Laguna
Chophouse restaurant
😠 We came in with really high hopes given the last wealth of positive reviews, and that’s why I’m compelled to provide necessary balance to what was wholly unenjoyable affair. Whilst parts of the food were tasty, the atmosphere was unwelcoming. Our food took a long time to come out and several things...

Guatemaya Spanish Academy
School
👍👍 My experience at Guatemaya has been more than I could have asked for. I have learned so much in the short two weeks I attended. All the teachers are so welcoming, kind, patient, and full of knowledge. They are ready to meet you wherever you are at on your Spanish journey. They have plenty of coffee,...

Zoola San Pedro
Restaurant
😐 Me and a friend stayed in the private room with 2 beds and a private bathroom (no AC or fan). The stay was perfect, great local vibes, and the room came with a free complimentary breakfast which was very tasty!
The reason I would give this hostel a 3 star review instead of a 4 or a 5 is because of...

Café y Restaurante Alma De Colores
Restaurant
👍👍 Delicious veggie food in a peaceful spot. This restaurant/ social project is a nice spot to spend an hour or so, looking out at the lake and enjoying a (daily-changing) array of dishes and fresh juices served by members of the community.
