Top Local Tips for Panajachel

liquor Drinks are expensive at the hotel. If you want to save some money just go out to Santander Street for cheap beer and other drinks. Again, it is optional.

Boats and buses Use the taxi boats to get across then round the lake, rather than a tour-round-the lake boat. They go from the same place. They are cheaper, used by the locals, and mean that you can spend as much time as you want at each stop. The "chicken" bus to and from Chichi market is safe, but be prepared for being squashed 3 to a seat.
