Porta Hotel del Lago waterfront resort overlooks Lake Atitlán with Volcán Atitlán rising across the water in Panajachel, Guatemala.

Porta Hotel del Lago sits on the Lake Atitlán shoreline in Panajachel, the main gateway town for travelers heading to the lake's Maya villages. Volcán Atitlán, a stratovolcano rising to 3,537 meters, anchors the lake's southern rim alongside Volcán Tolimán and Volcán San Pedro, all remnants of a caldera-forming eruption roughly 84,000 years ago. Lake Atitlán itself plunges more than 300 meters in places, making it one of the deepest lakes in Central America.
