Thread: Heading to Guatemala

Oh shoot--just saw this. We had a car and it was an adventure driving to Antigua and Pana. I will find my old notes--look up Sol y Tul restaurant on the lake at Santa Catarina. Crazy French dude named Guy who owns S y T and runs the paraglider biz off the hill above the famous switchback road. On the road from S y T past a small hotel called Casa Polopo in Santa Catarina, there is an Indian guy (former lawyer) who lives facing the lake--his name is Raj and he'll say hello--prob invite you to visit. Hang at Santa Catarina for a day if you can. Guy also has a coffee farm--buy some of his stuff--no regrets!

Los Encuentros is a cool guesthouse/hotel at Panajachel. Short walk into town--cheap rates and they have a hot springs bath that will make your skin red! They have some houses for rent on the lake, too.

Be mindful of ATMs in both Pana and Antigua--lots of recent problems with hidden cameras, etc. New airport is pretty nice.

Oh Shoot again--it's Tul y Sol--sorry...and it's San Marcos la Laguna--ARGHH--to many sans and lagunas etc...
and Guy now has a bedroom he rents...
