La Galeria celebrates the arts as a whole and provides at the same time a center for local and international artists. We sell a vast range of art work at attractive prices, rare and fine art pieces for collectors as well as unique frames of our own design. The building, a piece of art in itself is located in the heart of Panajachel. Since 1973 we also organize community events, concerts, theatre, cabaret, art movies etc. Our additional show of unique folk art began in the 1920s and continues to this day. Come by for an excellent cup of cappuccino or espresso and get inspired.House recommendations: Cappuccino -

it is an Art Gallery and cafe. it has a permanent exhibit of a great Guatemala Artist, her name is Nan, born in Guatemala, moved to Germany, married there, had children, came backto Guatemala and she has painted some beatiful pictures which are shown in the Gallery. Here son Thomas, her daughter-in-law and their son take care of the Gallery, in which also they have some concerts of classical and non classical music, different performers. on weekends they also serve pancakes breakfasts, during the week there is also a cafe/tea area. i believe it is closed on wednesdays. It is a very interesting place to visit and lppk at the art from NAN. worthwhile, you will not be dissapointed

I have spent 3 nights at Posada Don Rodrigo ad was a french solo woman traveller.I found the place very nice with a beautiful view on the volcanoes and Lake Atitlan. The place is safe and the staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. The breakfast was very good as well. I would recommend it for sure.After it is a matter of budget but I felt very confortable staying there.

This is a small, interesting museum about the geology, history, and Mayan culture in the area around San Pedro and Lake Atitlan. The museum is well organized and the guide was knowledgeable and presented things clearly. I assume that they have tours in English, but I took one in Spanish, which was a great exercise. The guide spoke very clearly, so it's easy to follow along if you have about intermediate-level language skills.
