What are the pros and cons of living in San Pedro La Laguna?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in San Pedro La Laguna responded:

"Expats and digital nomads generally like the low cost of living in San Pedro La Laguna, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They also appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the area, with Lake Atitlan and the surrounding volcanoes offering breathtaking views and outdoor activities. The laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals make it easy for expats to feel at home and integrate into the community. Additionally, the availability of Spanish language schools and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture are attractive aspects of living in San Pedro La Laguna. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the limited availability of certain amenities and services, such as high-speed internet, which can be crucial for remote work. The infrastructure in San Pedro La Laguna may not be as developed as in larger cities, which can lead to occasional power outages and water shortages. The rainy season can also make transportation and daily life more challenging, with muddy roads and increased humidity. Finally, while the expat community is growing, it is still relatively small, which may make it difficult for some individuals to find like-minded people or build a strong social network," said one expat in living in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala.
