Lake Atitlán is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range. It is known as the deepest lake in Central America.A titlán is an endorheic lake, fed by two nearby rivers and not draining into the ocean. It is shaped by deep surrounding escarpments and three volcanoes on its southern flank. The lake basin is volcanic in origin, filling an enormous caldera formed by a supervolcanic eruption 84,000 years ago. The culture of the towns and villages surrounding Lake Atitlán is influenced by the Maya people. The lake is renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and is one of Guatemala's most important national and international tourist attractions.Thank you Nisha!
