Travel Guide San Pedro La Laguna

Set at the foot of Volcán San Pedro, on whose slopes the locals grow coffee and corn, the village is particularly steep. Although it's not unpleasant to stroll through the small maze of alleys in the town center, where you'll hear the locals speak Tz'utujil, San Pedro La Laguna doesn't enjoy the same charm as the hamlets mentioned above.People come here mainly for the nightlife and to climb the volcano. Another point of interest is the hike to the Nariz del Indio viewpoint, located near San Juan La Laguna. Watching the sun rise over the Lago de Atitlán is undoubtedly one of the most memorable moments of a stay in Guatemala. The agencies offering this excursion are mainly located on the street parallel to the lake, where we recommend you go to compare prices.As well as backpackers looking for a night out, the town also attracts visitors wishing to learn Spanish, as long-term stays are less expensive than in other towns on the lake, thanks to the relatively low cost of accommodation and restaurants. Among the language schools on offer is the excellent San Marcos Spanish School, featured in the section dedicated to San Marcos La Laguna.
