Surrounded by volcanic peaks, the shores of Lake Atitlán are full of mystery and poetry.
In 1933, Aldous Huxley arrived here in search of an alternative in the face of the rise of Nazism in Europe. In this part of Guatemala, the British author discovers, in contact with the inhabitants and their traditions, a new form of spirituality that will leave a lasting mark on him and that he depicts with his characteristic cynicism in "Jesting Pilate, The Diary of a Journey".
