My journey began in Lake Atitlan, where I decided to take the leap and go cliff jumping from a staggering 40 feet. The adrenaline rush was insane as I took the plunge into the refreshing waters of the lake. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Lake Atitlan is not only great for cliff jumping but also for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. There are also a number of white water rafting opportunities, particularly on the Rio Cahabón.
