I’ve wanted to do this post forever but just kept putting if off for some reason but today is the day. Today I’m working on my Central America bucket list!

I love this lake. If I could live there, I might. It’s just so pretty and it’s got everything and, ugh, I wish I was sitting on a tree branch over the water, enjoying the warm sun. A lot of expats actually do move here because it’s so affordable!
Instead, I’m sitting under a blanket with at least 6 feet of snow on the ground outside. Oh well, I get to see moose here. In the spirit of the heat, here are the things I love about Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
I love Guatemala. It was my favorite country in Central America and I think about going back on a regular basis (it’s 2020 now and I still think about going back all the time.) I love the cities. I love the nature. I love the coffee. I love the people. All of it, really. If you want more specifics, read on.
I think I finally figured it out. I think I felt the same way about Tikal as I did about the Grand Canyon. I just didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it either though. Maybe I don’t have this all figured out. It was my fourth and final ruin site. Maybe I was running out of ruin steam. That didn’t take long. After all, I did just see Coba, Tulum, and Cahal Pech within a week or so. This just seems so weird that I didn’t love it because I did have fun there.
Antigua was one of my favorite places I went in Central America. I was there for about a week and spent most of it just wandering around and drinking coffee. I have to say, it was a pretty good week. Most of the time spent wandering, I didn’t have my camera with, but a few days that was my sole purpose of walking around.

One thing I knew I wanted to do before I left was climb a volcano, specifically Pacaya in Guatemala, mostly because that was the only one I knew about.

I’ve already mentioned that Guatemala was by far my favorite. I didn’t spend the most time here, Nicaragua takes the cake for that, but I was here for three weeks and ten of those days were spent in San Pedro La Laguna on the stunning Lake Atitlan. There were a couple times after three or four days where I thought to myself “I should move on,” but I just couldn’t get myself to do it. It was always “oh, but I want to hike Indian Nose tomorrow” (which I never did) or “but I want to walk around the village more.” (which I did plenty of!)

Guatemala was my favorite country I visited, by far. It had everything. There was beach (that I didn’t go to,) ruins, and volcanos. It had the best stuff to buy and it was all cheap, too.
