"Pana is kind of the gateway town to the lake. If you travel to the lake from Antigua, you may stop here first. On the surface, it feels much more touristy and busy than some of the other towns. It is a great place for souvenir shopping, but it also feels a little bit less authentic. There is a great nature reserve nearby and still great views and places to relax by the lake. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here, but it can be worth exploring if it's on your journey."

It serves as a major gateway and transportation hub for exploring the lake and its surrounding villages. Panajachel offers a wide range of amenities, including restaurants, hotels, shops, and a vibrant market where you can find local crafts and textiles. "
