San Cristobal

Ciudad San Cristóbal (or San Cristobal City) is the largest city in the municipality of Mixco, and part of the department of Guatemala.

One of the biggest housing developments near Guatemala City, it was first developed by DEINCO, a major real estate company, in 1973. It spans over more than 10 square kilometers, separated from the capital by a canyon, which had made it previously very difficult to develop. DEINCO built a bridge, called the San Cristobal Bridge, to enable people to easily reach the new development from the city. At first only two lanes, the bridge had to be later expanded to 4 lanes to accommodate the enormous amount of traffic going and coming from the city.

According to the 2002 population survey by the National Institute of Statistics, the entire Mixco municipality is home to more than 400,000 people. Of these, at least 150,000 live in Ciudad San Cristóbal.

Lake Atitlan Boat Explorer from Panajachel

3 hours

The Atitlan Explorer takes tourists to one of three of the indigenous towns surrounding Lake Atitlan. Each of these towns has a unique textile pattern, language and traditions. You will visit either San Pablo, Santiago or Santa Catarina Palopo, but these may vary due to season or other conditions.

Commonly referred to as 'the most beautiful lake in the world', Lake Atitlan was formed in an immense volcanic explosion 85,000 years ago. An immense hole was left in the earth's crust, leading to Atitlan being one of the world's deepest lakes. Large fissures were formed during the explosion, out of which the water flows, making Atitlan unique in that it is a fresh water lake with no river outlet.
