"Gringotenango"
They call Panajachel "Gringotenango" as it's a favorite of tourists and travelers. In the 1970s it was a haven for hippies and there are still some who refuse leave, but most left after the earthquake of 1978. The place could be described as a large permanent market with craft stalls for tourism, especially on the road leading to the small harbor. The village is very busy, the lake is worth it and is one of the major tourist attractions in Guatemala.
