I was in Guatemala only for 7-8 days and could merely visit Panajachel,Antigua and Tikal, while skipping Guatemala City which is notorious for crime and nothing particular in sightseeing.
Panajachel -
主要活動遊火山湖 Lago de Atitlán，登上沿岸小鎮 San Pedro 、Santiago 和 San Antonio 。可參加一天的遊湖團，也可直接到碼頭自己找船前往，25Q Santiago, 20Q San Pedro。 到 San Pedro 的船程約一小時，到達後停留約 1 小時 20 分鐘繼續前往 Santiago。我覺得那些島有點像香港的離島，四處走走看看居民生活、市塲和chapel。This town is famous for the lake aside the volcano, Lago de Atitlán and those villages San Pedro, Santiago and San Antonio. You may join 1 day tour or take the boat at pier which costed 25Q to Santiago, 20Q to San Pedro. It took 1 hour to San Pedro and then another 1hr 20mins stopover before continuing to Santiago.
I personally felt that was very similar to outlying islands in Hong Kong but you can see how the local life, market and chapel there.

| 島上一間廟，廟祝幫神像點煙；不要以為他們天主教就沒有民間信仰，我進去就看到島民在求問 Inside a temple of the Island, the chief is helping locals to do request by offering cigarette to the statue (the ethic religion is on top of the popular catholic belief they have) |
