Who writes this
The writers
AtitlanVida publishes under pen names, not real names, so the site never becomes about any one person. That does not mean the writers are interchangeable. Each one has a beat, a way of seeing the lake, and a reason for writing about it. Meet them below, or read more about how the site works on the about page.
