Question
Hello! I will be at a yoga retreat on Lake Atitlan and from there I would like to travel up to Flores to look at the Mayan Ruins and then to Belize.  My preference is to travel via bus and boat (not fly). What is the best way to get from Atitlan to Flores? Thanks!

Answer
Hola Mikela,

From Atitlan you would have to take a shuttle to Antigua First.
Then from Antigua you go to Guatemala city to take a bus to Flores.

Then from Sta Helena or Flores (th2 town next to each other one on land Sta Helena, one on the Island Flores much nicer) you can organize your trip to tikal and also to Belize with a local travel agency

Have a good trip

All questions related to real estate for Guatemala particularly in the area of Lake Atitlan. Invesment for retirment, rental, buildings, regulations,.... I live in Santa Cruz La Laguna, 15 minutes boat ride from Panajachel where I work. I have 2 little daughters (5-7) who go to Life school everyday. So if you need help to relocate or for a short experience in the lake area don't hesitate. Also I'm an official tour guide for the Guatemalan Institut for tourism (INGUAT) and I have an extensive experience of the country.
