About your trip

9:00am - Guests are picked up from their hotel & transfer to Santa Cruz la Laguna, a very remote Mayan Kaqchikel community in Lake Atitlan. Here you will have a leisure walk, photograph traditional homes and the best views of Lake Atitlan and volcanoes.


After a nice visit continue to San Juan La Laguna a well-known village for its textile cooperative and you will see the back strap loom in use and how they dye with natural colors. During the tour you will visit the home and workshop of local naïf painters before boarding the boat onto Santiago Village for lunch.


After lunch guests will walk with their guide to find the house of our Mayan deity called Maximon. Each year a different "brotherhood" has the privilege of taking care of their God so his location changes. Once with Maximon you may see local shaman performing rituals for local people and if you wish you can ask your guide to help you hire the services of a shaman for you to have a personal ceremony performed.


After visiting Maximon guests can visit the local church and learn about the history of this very traditional town, a colorful market and the primitive art gallery of Nicolas Reanda that is famous from this area. After the tour you will travel back to your hotel.
