We arrived in Guatemala city yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, Jorge missed his flight because of difficulties with customs. He was re-routed on different flights, arrived in Guatemala in the evening, and spent the night in Guatemala City, since the commute to Panajachel takes few hours.
The rest of the group arrived in Panajachel in the afternoon. We were greeted by the owners of our quaint B&B. We toured the town … it’s quite charming… friendly people, great local restaurants street vendors, and lots of stray dogs everywhere…
Today, we arrived at Mercado Global and met with the local women who coordinate operations here in Panajachel.
We also visited the famous Lake Atlitlan. It’s a massive lake bordered by three volcanoes, which we hope to hike up this weekend.
Here are some videos introducing you to Panajachel and Lake Atlitlan.
Check in soon…
Team Guatemala
