With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Santiago Atitlan, 25 miles away, has to offer. San Pedro Volcano ought to be high up on your list here. Santiago Atitlán and Atitlan Volcano are excellent attractions too. Don’t miss Panajachel either! Just 25 miles away, Panajachel Municipal Market, Church of Saint Francis and Casa Cakchiquel Arts Center are must-sees here.
