Getting out and about.

Lake Atitlan is comprised of many beautiful and unique villages. Santa Cruz, the village that we live in, is not connected to any other villages by road. There is a lake front path that takes you to the next town over, Jaibalito. The path does require some fitness, coordination and at times is not for the faint of heart as you are hiking up some steep terrain.

Our destination on this day was a little boutique hotel/restaurant on the water called Club Ven Aca. It took us about 50 minutes to arrive. We ate lunch, I had a delicious hibiscus tea, and then we relaxed in the pool before hiking back home to Santa Cruz.

San Marcos is a village that requires us to take a 20 minute boat ride to visit. This village is connected to villages to the West of it by roads (Santa Cruz is to the Northeast). Even though it is connected by a road, you get around San Marcos by walking down thin foot paths that run through the trees until you arrive at the center square of town. San Marcos has a well connected ex-pat community with a Waldorf School, many boutique hotels and restaurants, yoga opportunities, massage, spiritual healing, and meditation.  It also has a beautiful spot to enjoy the lake. 

We are loving the beauty and amazing opportunities/experiences we are having!

XOXO,
