San Pedro La Laguna

Getting Here and Around

Chicken buses and pickup trucks leave throughout the day from Calle Principal and Calle Santander in Panajachel. Because of robbery—on occasion violent—along the road, there is no overland public transportation between Santiago Atitlán and San Pedro. You should not attempt the route either. For San Pedro and all lake towns to the east, overland public transportation goes counter-clockwise around the lake to avoid the dangerous section of road. Taxi boats leave from the docks in Panajachel and Santiago Atitlán.
