Also, there is a danger of being robbed by banditos while hiking, so you it's best to not hike unaccompanied. You can arrange for a guide at most hotels in Panajachel and some of them in San Pedro. You'll probably pay around 70-80 Q for the service (under $10 US). Leave a Comment

 waiting for me to return by Ophelio
It's such a great way to see the surrounding beaches, homes and volcanic vistas! Amazing to think that there is only a thin peice of fiberglass between you and, at some points, 1000 feet of dark waters. I can now say that I have swum in a volcanic crater! Leave a Comment

Hey everybody,
planning on a trip to Guatemala?
Don't miss the unique atmosphere of San Pedro,
hang around with the coolest travellers
or settled gringos, kayak or hike, meet
people you were dying to talk to when on the way!
I would especially recommend Clover as a spot to eat,
Klara as a massage girl and Dnoz for book exchange.
Zoola is the place you wanna hang out at on a lazy afternoon
and Pinochio hostel has the right youth air about it ..
Meet ya there, its the place people come back to! Leave a Comment Address: San Pedro la lagunaPhone: 0050244419096Directions: Clover is close to Buddha (the bst night bar), Klara's Massage is located across Zuvuya books, down the main road from Panajachel dock and to the right when reaching the rock, Dnoz is at the dock itself, pinochio is across Buddha.

San Pedro is, in reality, divided into 2 very seperate towns. Lower, by the beach & between the 2 embarcaderos, is the international zone. This is jammed with a huge variety of hotels, hostels, rooms for rent, etc. There is even a guy, Fransisco, from Ecuador, who owns a laundry near the lakeside who has 4 large, brightly painted canvas teepees that he rents for 20Q per person/per night.
Up the hill lies the local zone, which includes the mercado, municipal buildings, zocalo, & many little tiendas & shops where you can get most any day to day need. Many Pedranos are Evangelicals, so drunken, boisterous foreigners should probably stay closer to the beach to avoid scandal &/or arrest.
In the main market you can buy exquisite textiles & awesome fresh fruits & vegetables. Everything is very inexpensive, & you can bargain with the vendors. This is thje part of town for filling inexpensive street food.
Back in the international zone you will find cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs (big reggae scene), & you can find those awesome brownies & cookies that you can't get in the States. Rarely will you see uniformed police close to the water, & the zone is herb friendly to an extent rarely encountered in my travels.
If you really want the down-home experience & have even rudimentary Espanol, there is a lady named Mari who serves breakfast & lunch in her home. Everything is done on a wood stove, her kids & their friends will be hanging out, you can sit & look out over the lake & volcanoes while the big red rooster checks you out & speaks to you, & the coffee is fantastic. You can choose: Be a tourist & have fun, or be a visitor & meet some very solid people in one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Centro America.
