The pictures below were taken this past weekend at Lake Atitlan. Atitlan is a beautiful place, although the pictures here don't do it justice. The lake itself formed inside of a crater which was left when a giant volcano exploded...which I found pretty cool. The whole area is supposed to be sacred to Mayans and many artifacts have been found in and around the lake since its "rediscovery" by Spanish explorers. Atitlan, like many things I have seen during my trip, seamlessly mixes history and natural beauty.
