Just a short boat ride away from the busier towns of Panajachel and San Pedro, here is where you can truly immerse yourself in nature and travel off the beaten path. Our property is just a 10 minute walk from the shores of Lake Atitlan and neighboring San Marcos which is renowned for its alternative community and spiritual classes, courses and events, plus an abundance of healers and practitioners, from massage to acupuncture, an esteemed Waldorf school and a second pioneering educational project. Around the lake, you’ll also find activities such kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and swimming, and an ease of access through boat travel, tuk-tuks and hiking trails. Please let us know if we can help coordinate any additional activities for you. Please do keep in mind we are located in rural Guatemala and there may be some sporadic unpleasant sounds or street dogs barking. We do our best to control what we can and appreciate the local community for hosting us. We ask our guests to do the same. We are known in Tzununa and San Marcos as “La Casa Blanca '' and any tuktuk will be able to get you to and from our property safely. Reliable tuktuk phone numbers are provided and readily available. Once you know the way, you can comfortably arrive by foot to both the lake shores, the Tzununa town center or to San Marcos. For those arriving by car. We highly recommend using a 4x4 vehicle and do not advise driving at night as the rural roads can be very difficult to navigate. Please be sure to let us know if you will be driving so we can give you proper directions for a smooth arrival. Our property is surrounded by lots of vegetation, and you might find occasional garden spiders, scorpions or harmless bugs around. While this is great for outdoors photographers, we understand this is not comfortable for all. Most critters keep to themselves and none are poisonous. Families, please take note that our property has not been toddler proofed. Smoking permitted in outside areas only. Pets permitted by special request only.
