Blue Parrot Bar and Grill Reopens in San Pedro la Laguna

With top of the line American-style food, everything from Biscuits with Gravy Sausage to Philly Cheese Steaks, the Blue Parrot Bar and Grill reopened yesterday in #SanPedrolaLaguna. There’s a big new bar and lots more happening at one of the top restaurants at Lake Atitlan.

Service is quick, food is great, and it’s also a hangout for locals as well as a popular restaurant with tourists.

The Blue Parrot Bar and Grill is across the street from Bar El Barrio on 7th Avenue.

Hours: 7 AM-9 PM, daily.

Road to San Pedro, San Marcos Atitlan Now Open

Roadwork on 148, the road from the main highway to Lake Atitlan, is complete, so no more delays for now.

Road repairs in Jocotenango, just outside Antigua, has also been finished, so traveling between Lake Atitlan and Antigua now takes 3.5-4 hours by shuttle.

We recommend the Casa Verde shuttle, as they have been running a small bus instead of a van recently. More comfortable seats, better shock absorbers and more space make a big difference, especially on the last hour of the ride down 148.
