The boat slips fast on the limpid waters of lake Atitlan, while we observe the volcanoes hanging on it, maybe it will rain tonight. The fertile slopes that encircle the lake lovingly grow the best coffee of the world, but without breathlessness. San Pedro La Laguna is a peaceful village, where the travelers looking for a pause, mingle with the curious and receiving local population, belonging to the Cakchiquel (Kaq’chiquel) ethnic group. Just a few years ago, San Pedro was an isolated place, whose inhabitants dedicated themselves to fishing and agriculture, selling their products in the neighboring villages (Panajachel, San Juan, San Marcos La Laguna). The arrival of the first foreigners was received as an opportunity to exchange acquaintances with the external world and from that moment, many people decided to stop here. San Pedro gives off a charming atmosphere: a maze of pebbly paths, the hush of the night, the starred sky, the small nightspots and the evenings in company with some good friends.
