  • Take a scenic boat ride on Lake Atitlan to Santiago Atitlan, with 95% of the population of Maya descent, and meet the shamanic keepers of Maximon.

Accommodation throughout the tour is flexible, with the possibility of changes due to room availability. While efforts are made to prepare rooms for early arrivals, immediate check-in may not always be possible, allowing guests to explore or use shared day rooms until rooms are ready.
