Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Ringed by the San Pedro, Tolimán and Atitlán volcanoes, Lake Atitlán fills a vast caldera in Guatemala's western highlands, its shores dotted with Maya villages such as Santiago Atitlán, San Juan La Laguna and Santa Catarina Palopó. Many of its finest hotels are reached only by boat, with terraced gardens, lake-view suites and quiet docks facing the water.
