A Two-Day Travel Guide to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala - Panajachel, San Pedro and Selina Hostels

🌎 Episode Overview:This week on Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm taking you along with me to the breathtaking Lake Atitlán in Guatemala! After an epic volcano hike in Antigua, it was time to slow things down by the water. I’ll be sharing my experience staying in Panajachel, exploring the charming town of San Pedro, finding incredible coffee spots, and my disappointment at missing out on paragliding (don’t worry, I’m already planning a return trip!). I’ve got tips on getting around the lake, hostel recommendations, must-try cafés, and why you’ll want way more than two days here.🎧 In This Episode I Talk About:How I got from Antigua to Lake AtitlánWhat it was like staying at Selina Hostel in PanajachelThe best coffee shops I discovered in Panajachel and San PedroA hidden café gem you have to check out in San PedroMy favourite local restaurant findHostels that are perfect whether you want to party or chill outWhat happened when I tried (and failed) to go paraglidingHow to navigate the public boats like a proWhy I totally underestimated how long you should stay here🏡 Places I Visited:Selina Hostel PanajachelCafe Loco (Panajachel)Tornado’s Café (San Pedro)Jakku Restaurant (San Pedro)Recommended Hostels Mr. Mullet’s Hostel (San Pedro)Dreamboat Hostel (San Pedro)Free Cerveza Hostel (Santa Cruz La Laguna)🎒 Travel Tips I Learned:Always check wind conditions for paragliding (even if the weather looks good!)Booking boats directly at the dock is easy — a little Spanish goes a long wayTwo days isn’t enough — plan for a longer stay if you can!Timestamps00:00 Welcome to the Winging It Travel Podcast00:30 Exploring Lake Atitlán: Arrival and Accommodations01:54 Activities and Local Culture at Lake Atitlán04:15 Cafes, Dining, and Social Scene07:10 Adventures and Recommendations for Future Visits09:31 Wrap-Up and Future Travel PlansSupport the Show:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on your favourite podcast platform!
