"In Panajachel the family is important. I was so impressed with the locals and how they greet each other and Expats with the same smile and genuine joy to greet you. We adopted my daughter as a baby, from that area. She is Mayan decent. Learning about their past and their rituals has been a wonderful experience. I have now gained lifelong friends there, who have accepted me into their lives like family," remarked another expat who made the move to Panajachel, Guatemala.
