Guatamala, lake Atitlan safe?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in Zihjuatenejo, Mexico planning to enter Guatamala soon, in the next ten days. I've heard many nice things about Lake Atitlan and was wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience of the area.
I've heard there are dangerous areas around the lake but nothing specific. Antigua is also on my list, but nothing more than that. Are there other areas that would be worth visisting?
If anyone would like to meet-up for a coffee,  , or whatever and discuss our respective journeys let me know.
Having a great trip so far, Mexico is great, just watch the other 'drivers' and stay alert. Hwy 200 from Zihjuat. to Manzanillo was a glorious ride, the Pacific coast to my right and moutains to my left, all under a canopy of shade trees above me and flawless, perfectly cambered pavement beneath my wheels! Some of the prettiest coast line I've ever seen.
Thanks alot!
