So I have just spent the week in the stunning Lago De Atitlan as I start to move towards Mexico. Surrounded by hills, mountains, jungles and 3 Volcanoes, this warm volcanic lake is the perfect spot to relax and explore. I stayed in a great little Hostel called La Iguana Perdida in a tiny village called Santa Cruz, which was a perfect base for the week and had a steady stream of interesting people passing through.
My week was filled with a little study, some hiking, kayaking, zip lining, yoga, rock jumping, swimming and exploring the villages surrounding the lake. Mayan culture is in full effect in this area which is very interesting to see and begin to understand. Western culture is also well established around the lake in the form of some epic houses on it´s shores, where Westerners who have settled here live and wealthy Guatemalans come to relax.
All in all it´s been a great week, a perfect rest after the tiring 6 weeks in Antigua and it has set me up for another couple of weeks studying in Quetzaltenango (Xela).
Yeah boyyyyyy. Now, it sounded as though you were speeding up as you went but the video cut off before the end so talk us through the dismount....
