Lake Amatitlán

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Amatitlán is a volcanic lake in south-central Guatemala, fairly close to the capital. It lies in Guatemala's central highlands, 1,248 m (4,085 feet) above sea level. It is 33 m deep, 11 km (7 miles) long, and 3 km (2 miles) wide. Its area is about 15 square kilometers (6 square miles).

The Villalobos River enters into it, and the lake is drained by the Michatoya River. The tourist town of Amatitlán sits near the head of the Michatoya.
