A first look at Lake Atitlán usually leaves one speechless, but Aldous Huxley's famous words are still used today to describe his first impression - "Lake Atitlán, the most beautiful lake in the world.... is simply too much of a good thing, it touches the limit of the permissibly picturesque." The 50 square mile lake is at an altitude of 5000 feet., and nowhere else in Guatemala is the geographic and cultural history so concentrated. Rediscover your sense of well being as you immerse yourself in a culture nearly 3000 years old.
Wilderness Medicine giant Paul Auerbach will join Travel and International Medicine in February 2008 for the keynote address. See Sessions.
