In the center of Guatemala is a beautiful, crystal clear lake that is so deep, it inspires the depths of the imagination. Surrounded by active volcanoes of striking beauty and teeming with old growth forests and wildlife, it is a great place to study the nature. There are narrow paths through the vast, rugged terrain a guide would be recommended. There are many hotels resorts and retreats around the lake ideal for the backpacker or to suit the tastes of those who require the finest of luxury accommodations.
