| Location |
| Posada Los Encuentros is one of only 17 Bed & Breakfast lodgings in Guatemala (and of four at Lake Atitlan) recently selected for feature in Incredible Inns of Central America | | Directions | The main route to Panajachel is through Solola. Following this route, one arrives directly into downtown Panajachel from Solola. The alternate route to Panajachel is through Godinez. Following this route, one arrives into Panajachel on the opposite side of town, after crossing a heavy traffic bridge spanning the Panajachel River. You will most likely be entering into Pana on the main route, arriving on Calle Principal.
If you are traveling by travel agency shuttle van, confirm at the office where you book the transportation that the driver will take you to the door of your hotel. This is standard service but the drivers sometimes get lazy and, on arrival in town, try to leave you somewhere more convenient for them. Drivers invariably carry cell phones. If they say they don’t know where we are, tell them to call us for directions. They can reach us at 7762-1603 or 2093 or ask at their office in Panajachel. YOU SHOULD NOT LET YOURSELF BE DUMPED OFF DOWNTOWN. If this should nonetheless happen, call us for a pick-up.
If you are traveling by commercial bus, get off the bus near the "V" intersection of Calles Principal & Santander. This is the beginning of Santander. At that intersection (but on the other side of the direction that Santander runs), is a multi-business complex with a single large entry with the sign "Comercial El Dorado." There is a coffee shop right inside the entryway where you can make phone call to us (7762-1603 or 7762-2093). The coffee shop charges 2 Quetzales. If you don't have it, tell them I will pay them when I pick you up. Or, you can take a 3-wheel tuc-tuc. But, be aware that the drivers are also often "Jaleadores."
The most commonly followed route to Panajachel is through Solola. Following this route, one arrives directly into downtown Panajachel from Solola. The alternate route to Panajachel is through Godinez. Following this route, one arrives into Panajachel on the opposite side of town, after crossing a heavy traffic bridge spanning the Panajachel River. From this route, at the entry to this bridge before crossing, there is a branch that directs traffic to stay on the same side of the river toward Sta. Catarina and San Antonio Palopo.
We are located on the same side of the Panajachel River as Santa Catarina so, if you enter town from Solola, you’ll have to pass through town center and cross this bridge, taking an immediate right afterward to arrive at our lodge .
