Casa Cakchiquel is a handsome old building near Calle Santander that now works as a cultural centre, gallery, and archive. Its exhibitions often focus on photography, local history, and the Maya communities around Lake Atitlán.
The appeal is partly architectural and partly atmospheric. It is a good pause from the street outside, and the historical photographs give a useful glimpse of Panajachel before the modern shuttle-and-lancha economy took over.
