Gringotenango or Pana, used to be a laid back hippie hangout set
against beautiful lake " Atitlan." Pana is the port of entry for most
of the tourists to the lake and is not a typical Guatemalan city. Like most
beautiful places in the world, it is now filled with resorts and hotels. The lake
is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, a gem in its natural beauty,
rich in the traditional Indian life of the villages who live around it. The
lake is surrounded
by three volcanoes San Pedro, Toliman and Atitlan. Its 12
villages around the lake make this place a wonderful experience. All the villages are
worth seeing, and some are most popular than
others, like Santa Catarina Palopo, Santiago
Atitlan, San Pedro de la Laguna, Santa Cruz de la Laguna and San Marcos.
