Adventure - It was an incredible experience visiting Lake Atitlán. We crossed by boat to visit several magical towns, and each one was unique and special. San Juan La Laguna surprised us with its art, culture and warmth. We also visited San Pedro La Laguna and Santiago Atitlán, each with its own charm. We were a group of 8 friends, and the adventure was simply great. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience.

Experiencie Lake Atitlán - The tour through the charming villages around Lake Atitlán exceeded all our expectations. It was a unique and enriching experience, full of culture, nature, and human warmth. One of the most memorable moments was visiting a women’s cooperative where they create beautiful textiles using ancestral techniques and natural dyes. Watching their craftsmanship, effort, and dedication was truly inspiring. We also had the opportunity to visit a honey cooperative, where we learned about their artisanal and sustainable production process. Each stop along the way was a chance to connect with Mayan roots, living traditions, and people deeply committed to their communities. Walking through the colorful village streets, full of art, smiles, and life, was simply magical. And riding a boat across the lake’s crystal-clear waters, surrounded by majestic volcanoes, was an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the true essence of the Lake Atitlán villages and enjoy an authentic, conscious, and beautiful journey

Lake Atitlan - Visiting the three villages was an unforgettable experience. I enjoyed spectacular views of Lake Atitlan and, best of all, was to be able to get up close and personal with the richness of the local culture. I definitely recommend it
