Aldous Huxley famously said of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, "It really is too much of a good thing." With three volcanoes rising from its ultra-clear waters and twelve distinct Mayan towns resting on its banks, Lake Atitlan is claimed by some to be one of three energy vortexes on the planet and said by many to be the most beautiful lake in the world.
These photographs from Eric Mencher, taken during two recent visits, look to capture that beauty and energy, expressed and embodied by both the extraordinary landscapes and the unique people of the Lake Atitlan area.
