Sunset over Lake Atitlán, Panajachel, Guatemala

Lake Atitlán near Panajachel, Guatemala, is seen at sunset with a small motorboat on the water and the surrounding volcanic highlands in silhouette. The lake occupies a volcanic caldera in the Guatemalan Highlands formed by a major eruption about 84,000 years ago. Communities around its shoreline rely on boat transport between towns and villages, alongside a tourism economy centered on Panajachel and other lakeside settlements.
