Panajanchel
Panajachel is in the Guatemalan highlands and provides incredible views to three volcanoes and the Lake Atitlan. The volcanoes, San Pedro, Toliman, and Atitlan set an incredible stage for this town. Panajachel is also the gateway to explore the three indigenous villages around Lake Atitlan. Santiago Atitlan, Santa Cararina Palopo and San Antonio Palopo, all are famous for its women weavers and their typical clothes.
If your looking for some night time entertainment in Panajanchel, check out the Circus Bar. It's decorated like a big top circus, complete with old photos and the like. You can roll dice for free drinks, and there is usually great live music.
La Cueva del Oso is a quaint restaurant with most of its seating in a former driveway. It is surrounded by lush, flowering vegetation. The tables, covered in blue-and-white checkered tablecloths and each with an umbrella, have candles on them. The accent lighting is perfect, dim enough to be soothing but bright enough to see the food. Inside the house is more seating; the setting is equally soothing. Pretty impressive considering you should be able to walk out of there short only $10.
