Lake Atitlan, San Marcos La Laguna

---

San Marcos La Laguna is one of the smallest towns on the lakeside. Most of the buildings in the town are in dense rainforest and the place felt really isolated. San Marcos was really relaxed and friendly with lots of Gringo´s (foreigners). We found a place by the lake called Hostal de Lago. This hostel was really basic but the owners Brian and Sarah and the atmosphere of the place was great. In San Marcos we met lots of hippies and travellers all just chillaxin and watching the world go by. We wentto a place on our last night that was re-opening after several months of excavation of hundreds of tonnes of boulders that had destroyed the last cafe in a landslide in 2010.
