Atitlan lake

In Guatemala there is an amazing place called Atitlán, this place has such beautiful landscapes, for example, the beautiful villages around the lake, their names are those of the twelve apostles, are colorful and have a special ethnic touch.

Volcanoes 
Surprisingly there are three volcanoes, Atitlan volcano is the highest and from its top you can see the whole landscape, incredibly beautiful, you can see in the afternoon the wind called Xocomil,  as  if they were strokes of a painter, it's simply the best landscape I've seen in my life.

Lake
Lake Atitlan is the most beautiful in the world because it is surrounded by mountains, experts say millions of years ago a huge explosion occurred and formed the volcanoes and lake.


It's the perfect place to go with your spouse and have a romantic moment.
For me, Lake Atitlan and its volcanoes are the best creation of God in the world.

Atitlán Volcano

In the 90's I went four times to Atitlán volcano, in Solola, Guatemala.
One time, I went with my friends. It took us about 3 hours to get there. Once we arrived at the volcano, we walked around 30 minutes on the slopes of the volcano before ascending. We walked for four hours and at the end we went to the summit of the volcano, it was a wonderful thing to see Atitlán lake from the top.

In the evening we saw a few coyotes, which was great. We slept in tents, and it was very cold, and early in the morning we saw the dawn, everything was spectacular. That picture is my favorite, that's me at the summit of Atitlán volcano.

A wonderful natural place in the world, for me, is Atitlán lake.
