This past weekend Megan and I went to a little town called Panajachel on the shore of Lake Atitlan. We had to take 4 buses and then walk 2 km to get there. We had to walk because there was a landslide on the highway which caused a big traffic jam. The bus driver decided that he had taken us far enough and kindly asked us to get off his bus. It was a little frustrating at first, but the walk was beautiful.
The town is very beautiful with a nice lakefront walkway with tons of shops and restaurants. We ate lunch, did some shopping and then headed to a nearby Natural Reserve.
The natural reserve was amazing. It cost $5 a person to get in. We went on a short hike through the jungle.
There were swinging bridges...
Waterfalls...
And wild spider monkeys!!!
We're definitely going back sometime. They also had zip lines through the jungle, but we decided to do that next time.
I've been there before. Always one step ahead of you James Fuller...
