Ahhhh... San Pedro.
Lake Atitlan is an awesome place. I have fond memories. Tripping in the crater of the volcano on my birthday is right up there.
San Marcos is pretty chill, but Pedro was my favorite village by far. Forget Pana.
If you've never had the privilege, you owe it to yourself to get over to this magnificent lake at the foot of 3 mystical volcanos. Unexcavated Mayan ruins, cloud forests, native villagers that dress in rainbow colors and look like indian versions of the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz... good times.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha
