The adorable town of San Juan at #lakeatitlan #Guatemala
It gets prettier at night with all the cafes and restaurants that come of life after sunset - unfortunately the day I visited, there was a electricity failure and we lost power for 18 straight hours
I was also able to hike / climb the nearby Mirador in San Juan - The vibrant colorful- Mirador Kaqasiiwaan

you don’t need a guide or a tour to visit Mirador Kaqasiiwaan. Just take a tuk tuk from anywhere in San Juan for about 10Q and pay about 30Q for entrance
The next day I hiked the Indian Nose for the sunrise
