Iglesia San Francisco de Asís

Old parish church in the quieter upper part of Panajachel, away from the lakeside stalls.

The Iglesia San Francisco de Asís sits in the older, calmer part of town, a short walk uphill from the tourist strip. Its white facade and small plaza give a better feel for local Panajachel than the souvenir stalls near the lake.

It is a modest sight, but worth a look if you are walking through town rather than just transferring to a boat. Market days and religious festivals bring more colour to the surrounding streets.
