San Pedro la Laguna
San Pedro La Laguna is in Guatemala. It is a fairly laid-back small town across Lake Atitlán from Panajachel. A major mochilero hub. Great food, small and walkable, and safe.
Santiago Atitlán

Santiago Atitlán is a city in Guatemala on Lake Atitlán near Panajachel. It's famous as the largest indigenous population of Tz'utujil Mayans. It's much less touristy than Pana or San Pedro, and a good place to see local people going about their normal lives.
San Juan

San Juan La Laguna is a town on Lake Atitlán. It doesn't have nearly as many tourists as other towns around the lake, and so it is a much quieter, more relaxed place to stay.
