Tzununá, Lake Atitlán
A short boat ride from the bustle of Panajachel, yet worlds away. Tzununá is a small Mayan village where roosters still crow at dawn and the pace of life follows the rhythm of the lake. Here, surrounded by three volcanoes and ancient culture, something in you remembers how to slow down.
