Anyone familiar with Guatemala, Lake Atitlan?

Question

I'm curious to know about a mudslide that occurred there in 2005. I think it wiped out the whole area if I'm correct. I'd REALLY like to talk to someone who knows the area!

Answer 1

I've been to the town, panabaj, that was buried before, just passing through.  I'm not sure what your question is but here are some links to find out some more information.

Answer 2

Um, I was there last year. It's a long ways up in the mountains but the lake, town, and surrounding areas were in fine condition. If you get the chance, that's a trip I would suggest making.
