Forest Path

Lake Atitlán is one of the natural wonders of the world. Casa Floresta is located lakeside in Pasajcap, between San Marcos La Laguna and Tzununa, directly next to the well known Casa Colibri.

For arrival, please take the public boat service from San Marcos or Tzununa, simply ask the boat driver for Casa Floresta, Pasajcap, the cost is Q10 from either town (best to have small change, and sit at the front of the boat). If the boat driver does not know the house, please say next to Casa Colibri, Pasajcap.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Please know that we will send a Rooming List outlining which accommodation you will be staying at a few days before the retreat.

Both Casa Colibri, Casitas Aurora and Casa El Amate offer comfortable accommodations and bathrooms. Casa Colibri & Amate properties operate on solar hot water (which at times can therefore be limited in). Both Casa Colibri, Casitas Aurora and Casa El Amate are adjacent to Casa Floresta.

For those staying at Casa Colibri, please arrive directly between 2.30-3.30pm with your luggage to the Casa Colibri dock (next door to Casa Floresta). The manager (either Genevieve or Christian) will be there to greet you and show you to your assigned room.

For those staying at Casitas Aurora or Casa El Amate, please arrive directly between 2.30-3.30pm with your luggage to the Casa Floresta dock, and manager Paula will show you to your space.

Please do not arrive earlier than this as managers may not be present to welcome you before 2.30pm.

For those staying at Vistas de Pasajcap - you are best accessing the property with luggage from the road NOT from the lake (due the steep stairs from the lake side is very hard with luggage) - you can arrive via private car from the Airport/Antigua or tuk tuk from San Marcos la Laguna to the property directly - it is well known as Vistas de Pasajcap and see the link for location.

From Vistas de Pasajcap to Casa Floresta - walk down the stairs to the lake front and walk to the right (west)for 5-7 minutes passing a large stone wall and very high dock, until you come to our grand stair entrance to arrive to the temple.

Off-site Accommodation options are ONLY for local residents within our community. We can not allow you to walk after ceremonies into town to an accommodation- it is not safe to do so. You may book an Airbnb in Pasajcap area as long as you know it is within 5 minute walk from Casa Floresta (ideally along the lakefront only - the road is not safe to walk late at night). We can recommend these Airbnb options; Luzmi’s Eco Cottage, Eco Cabin and Eco Studio, or Eric’s La Casa at Vistas de Pasajcap and Studio Sol y Luna, as more economical options, and all a safe 5-10 minute lakefront walk away.
