Description
Located within the Lago de Atitlan National Park, Atitlan is the name of both a tranquil Guatemalan lake and the highest of three volcanoes that rises near its shore (the others are Toliman and San Pedro). Though not the highest peaks in Guatemala, this is one of the country's finest locations for mountain viewing and hiking.
