Volcanic views over Lake Atitlan from Laguna Lodge
The showpiece of Guatemala’s Central Highlands, silvery Lake Atitlan is poetically-framed by three volcanic peaks and has often been called the world’s most beautiful lake. Authentic small villages like Santiago, Panajachel and San Pedro La Laguna surround the lake and offer visitors a glimpse into the traditional Guatemalan way of life. In addition to exploring the villages, visitors can hike the San Pedro volcano or try a truly unique experience like high altitude lake diving. As for where to stay, it doesn’t get much better than Laguna Lodge, a 6-suite luxury eco-lodge accessible only by boat.

I'm Jenny McIver, career girl, globetrotter. On New Year's Day, 2005, a newspaper article about a man who took a trip around the world sparked a wanderlust in me that has yet to abate. I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
