San Antonio Palopó travel guide

Understand

San Antonio Palopo has very few of the tourist trappings nor traffic. It's known for its ceramics and its beautiful but simple native dress (Traje). The villagers are cautious but will greet your smile with an even bigger one. Though a laid back and simple Mayan village, San Antonio Palopo can service tourists nicely, if only a couple dozen at a time.

Sleep

There are two restaurants/hotels that service travelers and a bed and breakfast that also includes use of a kayak.

1 Nuestro Sueno, Calle de la Playa, Orilla del Lago, Barrio Xetioy. Has a superb vantage point of the lake and hot tub for relaxing. Kayaks for rent. Restaurant/bar, wifi, pet-friendly. 239 Quetzals. (updated Aug 2020)
