Panajachel Shopping: Lakeside Vendors

8 of 10

Kirsten Noelle Hubbard
Time for some shopping in Panajachel style! The end of Calle Santander in Panajachel is lined with vendors. They also peddle their wares along cobblestoned Calle de la Playa, which runs parallel to the banks of Lake Atitlan. The lakeside street is perfect for a leisurely stroll, especially with a handful of cashews or fresh mango slices purchased for just a few Quetzales.

Haggling is fair game when you're shopping in Panajachel, as with all other Guatemala markets. Need some tips? Check out our guide to Bargaining in Guatemala.
