San Pedro, Guatemala: Boats docked on Lake Atitlan shore

Passenger boats are moored along the shore of Lake Atitlán in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. These launches, commonly called lanchas, are a principal transport link on the lake, connecting San Pedro with other towns that ring the basin where road travel can be slower or less direct. The waterfront combines docks, lodging, restaurants, and small commercial buildings, reflecting San Pedro’s dual role as both a local port and a tourism center on Lake Atitlán.
