Lake
Atitlan is a natural marvel like no other, 50 square
miles of deep, crystal blue water surrounded by three
lofty volcanoes. Formed by a volcanic cataclysm 100,000
years ago, the lake shimmers in a mountain valley, overlooked
by a dozen quaint villages, whose residents proudly
wear traditional dress that distinguishes each town
from the next. Despite the rustic setting of old world
villages, exquisite accommodation and superb dining
are available, providing a perfect setting to savor
the intoxicating tranquility of this unique natural
wonder. British novelist Aldous Huxley once called this
lake "the most beautiful in the world." Few,
if any, could disagree. |
