What you can expect

  • On a boat trip, you'll be able to enjoy one of the wonders of the world, Lake Atitlán, its three majestic volcanoes, and the first picturesque village where you can see how women work day in, day out, weaving and embroidering their Mayan clothing, using different plants and insects to dye their cotton thread. You'll learn about and taste the three types of honey from stingless bees, and you'll learn about the benefits and importance of cocoa or chocolate. The second village is for taking photos and videos or enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. The last village is very authentic and the largest of all the villages around the lake, which lies between the three volcanoes. Strolling along its craft street, you'll learn about its Mayan deity Maximón and its syncretic religion, Mayan and Catholic. You'll visit one of the old churches and learn about its art, which depicts the importance of corn, coffee harvesting, and more. Finally, we'll have time for lunch, with different types of traditional Guatemalan food and, best of all, fish from Lake Atitlán.
