Retire to Guatemala's beautiful Lake Atitlán

The caldera created by a massive volcanic explosion, one of the strongest explosions in earth's history, formed the basin for what is today arguably the most picturesque lake in the world: Lake Atitlán in Guatemala.

Aldous Huxley famously described this lake as, "really, too much of a good thing." It's beautiful by day and stunning at sunrise and sunset. With a near-perfect climate, easy access to the United States, a moderate cost of living, and reasonable access to health care, Lake Atitlán and the surrounding villages are a potentially ideal retirement choice.
