Although there will be entries on the list that belong to the area of Lake Atitlan, we put it on the list due to numerous sources just recommending this region. Surrounding the lake are numerous smaller towns and villages that are homes to many expats. If you want a taste of Mayan culture and traditional lifestyle, this is probably your best pick. The area around the lake also goes by the name “The Land of Eternal Spring” due to pleasant weather all year long. You can find much-needed calm here for an affordable price while being surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes Guatemala has to offer.
