Location: Lake Atitlan, Guatemala + Volcano Acatenango
Acatenango is sacred to the indigenous communities of Guatemala and ancient civilizations like the Maya. The Maya believed the volcano connected the earthly and celestial realms, and that deities lived inside it, controlling nature and blessing the land. Hiking up the volcano and exploring the sites of the lake were a once in a lifetime experience.
