Why the ground reads deeper than the deed
The lot measures 57 m on paper and about 70 m in practice. The difference is the lake: in this sector it rises and falls between three and five metres, and the shoreline travels with it.
The view
Tolimán and Atitlán are both in front of the lot. San Pedro sits behind it and cannot be seen from the ground.
The water at the edge
The beach here is very clear, thick with pashte and tul, the reed and lake vegetation that filters the water along this stretch.
One of the steadier sectors
Because of how the land rises, the lake only gains and loses about two metres against this lot, and the change takes years to show.
