As a resort town, Panajachel has some of the liveliest nightlife in the highlands. Calle Santander is the place to see and be seen. Stroll the street, look for a bar, café, or restaurant to park yourself, and watch the parade go by. Many other bars cluster near the intersection of Avenida de los Arboles and Calle Principal on the fringes of the Old Town.
