Departamento de Sololá Travel Forum

After staying in antigua for three nights, we are traveling to panajachel for a couple days. If you know anything about hotels, activities, restaurants, etc., I would appreciate it.

is there a strait shuttle bus from Panajachel to San Cristobal de la Casas and how much it costs, or one has to do a lot of bus changes as it was discribed by one VT member? I am looking for the fastest way (if any), rather than the cheapest way. any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a "Cafe las Cristalinas" ?? what type of dining do they offer ??

Hi, I will be visiting Panajachel & Solola in a month or so & need basic travel info once I get to Gutemala City.

Would someone please advise how far it is from Panajachel to Solola & how far Guatemala City is from both of them?

I want to move to either Panajachel or Solola & need general information on that as well, if someone would please be so kind.

I am looking for musicians also.

Can you rent Mo-Peds in Guatemala City? I did this in Europe & N Africa for three years,


Thanks

What is the best way to get from Panajachel to Livingston, and how quickly do you think I could realistically do that?

Thanks!

I plan to go to Guatemala in March, and I need information about how to travel from Panajachel to Quetzaltenango on a Sunday afternoon. Most of the shuttle information I have seen shows shuttles running from Panajachel to Antigua or Guatemala City, but not to Quetzaltenango. The one shuttle schedule I was able to find showed a morning departure from Panajachel. If there is no good shuttle service, is there a first-class bus? Or only a chicken bus running between the cities? Is it difficult to take luggage on the chicken buses?

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.

Any ideas on the best travel to San Marcos? We heard that we could spend $100 to take 2 of us directly by shuttle. This seems expensive. Can we take a bus directly to Panachel? How long does that take and how much $? Then how easy is it to get a boat across the lake? Do they run frequently? Is this a difficult journey to negotiate with limited Spanish?

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