Romantic Getaways Chimaltenango

Making a Splash in Chimaltenango!

While Chimaltenango itself doesn’t have large bodies of water for swimming or watersports, its proximity to Guatemala City opens up some exciting aquatic opportunities. Here are a few ideas:

• Lake Amatitlán: This scenic lake is about an hour’s drive from Chimaltenango and offers stunning views of volcanoes. You can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, boat tours, and even fishing.
• Pacific Coast Beaches: For a true ocean experience, head to Guatemala’s Pacific coastline, accessible by bus or car within a few hours. Popular destinations like Monterrico and El Paredón offer surfing, swimming, sunbathing, and seafood restaurants.

Tips for Water Activities:

• Sunscreen: The Guatemalan sun is strong! Pack high SPF sunscreen and reapply frequently.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially when engaging in physical activities.
• Respect the Environment: Dispose of trash properly and be mindful of local wildlife.

Enjoy your watery adventures!
