Ready to escape the summer heat and immerse yourself in pure bliss?
Picture yourself surrounded by the stunning beauty of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala with its clear skies, the soft hum of morning calm, and the occasional afternoon thunderstorm over three majestic volcanoes. With highs in the mid-70s and cool nights in the 60s, this is your perfect opportunity to unwind, recharge, and rejuvenate as you join Yoga Instructors Charles and Kelli for another one of their amazing international yoga retreats!
We will travel together from the airport in Guatemala City to the shores of Lake Atitlan where we will spend 6 days/5 nights at The Bambu Guest House in Tzununa, a place where ecotourism, sustainability, and community cooperation are supported by the residents’ deep desire to live in true harmony with nature. Culture abounds in this part of the Mayan heartland, so you are sure to have so many incredible FIRST TIME experiences. We will take a slower pace on this retreat, savoring each beautiful moment that this area of the world has to offer!
