I want to visit San Marcos de la Laguna, but I will have some luggage with me. Can the small launchas handle this?
Or is there a safe place where one can store luggage in Pana?

Also, what is suggested about travelling by boat in the am or pm? I hear the winds can be bad- are there larger ferry type boats to go from Pana to San Marcos de la Laguna that would be more stable?

Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know any good companies that do mountain biking tours in the area? I have seen a few but they were $$$. Thanks

Hi,
i am heading to lake atitlan in a few weeks and hope to stay at las piramides for a month during there moon course.
Has anyone been there or got any ideas about the center.
I have only seen the web site and not getting any emails back from them.
Any info would be great.
Thanks

I am thinking of traveling to Lake Atlivan with my 7 years old daughter born in Guatemala. Would you go with a Guatemalan child? Do you feel the country is safe for a woman and child?

Wd. appreciate an estimate of the costs for a single male living in a rental inexpensive apartment maybe one bdrm and if possible other sundry costs, i.e. utilities, phone, for a monthly period. Have been in C.A and mexico for five years. I like Guat and Panajachel. Cosidering living there for a couple years of all seems amenable. Is internett available in a home?
thank you, jim davis

what is the most important village to see?
