Atitlan is a destination for the curious traveler.

It's is not a tourist destination like a Cancun in that it has not been cleaned up and pasturized for the tourists. Atitlan is still real.

Here you will be somewhere unlike anywhere you have been before and you will meet a people unlike any you have met before.
