    The staff were incredibly helpful when my partner and I developed severe food poisoning. They organised cars and translated for us to be able to receive the care we needed. They also held our luggage after check out when we went to hospital.

    The cosy home feeling. José has thought about a lot of details and is very kind and shows interest in people. You can ask him anything. There is Alexa, tv with YouTube, coffee/tea, candles, incense, even a sewing kit to get your clothes mended.

Its streets, offering good food, souvenirs that bring you closer to the culture and energy in one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, make it a place where magic and nature coexist.

I am a traveler, I have backpacked through several countries and I love nature. Some years ago, I decided to leave my job in an office and start traveling and getting to know the world. Now I have returned to my country with the intention of helping my people and all those travelers who want to know Guatemala and exchange culture and good conversations.
Panajachel is the main town around Lake Atitlan, the magic of the lake makes each of its towns give you their knowledge and adventures. You can walk its streets, visit incredible places and meet the people around the lake.
