You travel with your mum? This place is quiet and relaxed compared to most Latin American towns I have been to !

Thanks for sharing your insights from Panajachel! I am researching and planning my travels there for later this year and this is really helpful to know. I will definitely make a point to explore Panajachel in the morning. I love calm atmosphere!

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I’m glad your Mum is a little deaf- I can’t imagine mine appreciating that very much!

In reply to Jo. So crazy!! I've heard that it's not so bad when it's not Semama Santa, and wish I'd had the opportunity to see it otherwise. Though apparently Panajachel is often that noisy and crowded. Ahh, such a shame to hear about the heavy drinking on the Guatemalans there! I liked San Pedro, it was chilled, but I was only there briefly! When were you there, Jo?

God, I can imagine Atitlan would be crazy then. We stayed with insanely rich Guatemalan friends there, and all their friends had lake houses and often (drunkenly, unfortunately) drove or boated into Pana and San Pedro. We were there just before SS and they all had plans to show up there for the holidays.

When we were in Pana a few weeks before that, it was a chilled out hippy town with barely anyone and no real partying! It’s crazy how much a place can change!
