San Pedro la Laguna

I´m just about to leave San Pedro to head across the lake to another village called Santa Cruz. This place has been super chilled and it sounds like Santa Cruz will be even more so.


The view from the village. I haven´t captured my quintessential Atitlan shot yet, but the view of the volcanoes from Santa Cruz should be amazing

We´ve spent a lot of time just lounging around taking in the amazing scenery, enjoying the great local coffee and finally doing some laundry! One interesting aspect of the town though has been the coffee production. Small farms all around the lake send their beans to San Pedro to make Cafe del Lago, which by my reckoning is pretty good stuff.

Washing some coffee beans in San Pedro

I´m keen to do a spot of fishing and maybe hire a kayak to explore more of the lake tomorrow. But now I must run or I´ll miss my boat...

I was backing up some photos and found this one from one of my many bus rides. I quite like it...
