Atitlán |
|
Lake Atitlan, its located Southwest of Guatemala City. Solola is
one of the most important tourist places of Central America. Its
market is authentically indigenous where men and women wear
typical clothing from their communities and come from the
different surrounding villages, which makes it even more colorful.
Today Solola is still one of the few villages from the highlands
where people proudly wear their traditional clothes, which,
depending on the fabrics and threads used, as well as the amount
of embroidered motives, portray the social and economic status and
position of the civil and religious hierarchies.
 Lake
Atitlan is one of the most beautiful in the world, with its
crystalline-azure waters in the crater bowl below. Atitlan is the
ideal place to come in contact with Guatemalan folklore. Twelve
Indian villages surround the Lake, and their inhabitants are
descendants from the great Quiche, Cackchiquel, and Tzutuhil
nations.
One of the twelve lake-shore villages surrounding the Lake is the
picturesque Indian village of Santiago Atitlan. At this bustling
Indian community, weavers work the colorful textiles.
Note:
Lake Atitlan has been nominated to participate in an international
contest as one of the 7 wonders of nature of the world. Up to
date, it is placed on the 6th position of this contest.
We invite you to vote! Together we can make this natural paradise
to become one of the 7 wonders of nature of the world.

ATITLAN HOTEL |
|
Atitlan Hotel, one of Guatemala's
elite cadre of fine hotels, is situated in picturesque Panajachel
Solola. This location is the heart of Lake Atitlán's most
ethnically authentic peoples, yet conveniently accessible to the
most fashionable part of the Riviera.
 Atitlan
Hotel was designed as a home away from home for the most
discriminating traveler. This precious gem is intimately
user-friendly and elegant in a classically understated way.
To complete its serene ambiance, Atitlan Hotel offers a wide range
of service. Guatemala’s most attentive staff, extraordinary
cuisine, and without doubt, the most dramatic and appealing
natural surroundings in the world.
The décor is in the Spanish colonial-hacienda style that was
favored by the Guatemalan plantation owners of the 18th-century. A
fantasia of ornately gardens, caged colorful exotic birds, hand
carved wooden furniture, and gorgeous ceramic tiles make Hotel
Atitlan a unique place indeed.
The Hotel's restaurant is yet relaxed. Its elegant ambiance has
been compared to that of chic California dining places. In tones
of terracotta burgundy and teal, the main dinning room with
terrace level comprise the restaurant, enhanced by huge windows,
wood columns, a fireplace and mahogany and gold leaf side tables,
The bar is adjacent to the restaurant. Cozy and home-like, the bar
has its own character. The thatched roof "Ranchito" accessible by
cobble stone pathways trough the manicured gardens and next to the
lake, is devoted to extraordinary functions and banquets. Hotel
Atitlan is a MUST for those planning the LAST WORD in a garden
wedding. |
