Kawoq Forest

Kawoq Forest is a peaceful wellness retreat in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala, set on the mountainside above Lake Atitlán. Surrounded by nature, it offers a quiet place to slow down, rest, and connect with the landscape and the people who care for it.

Guests come here for a range of experiences that include yoga, sound healing, massages, cacao and fire ceremonies, and personalized retreat stays. Reviews highlight the thoughtful communication, welcoming staff, and the way each visit can be shaped around individual interests. The setting, food, and overall atmosphere are often described as calm, beautiful, and deeply restorative.

Visitors should be prepared for a hillside location that is somewhat difficult to reach, with about a half-hour uphill walk from town. Once there, the experience is centered on comfort, attentive service, and a strong connection to the natural surroundings. Kawoq Forest is open daily from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
