Las Piramides Yoga and meditation retreat, has beautiful pyramid cabanas, and great vegetarian food. Theres few things to do in San Marcos, besides a couple of restaurants. But is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake, out of the touristic path.

From San Marcos you can walk to Santa Cruz, another small village, it takes about 3 hours (return by boat), with some of the best views of the lake.

Hotel Aaculax: A Bit Of Paradise
wrldtrvlr3341 Says: I traveled with friends on a chicken bus on a weekend getaway to explore a bit more of Guatemala. While we had seen photos of some of the rooms, they did not do the site justice. The rooms have awesome views and are set among luscious gardens. There are ample surrounding...
Posada Schumann: Easy to find the Posada Schumann
VinTolucci Says: My stay at the Posada Schumann was a very comfortable one. The rooms were clean and very spacious. Finding this place was a cinch. As soon as the boat drops you off, hang a left and go up the main little causeway. The Posada Schumann also has a sauna which is real nice but...

Delicious food in a lush garden, concerts several times a week--fun local scene. Simple, comfortable hotel attached. Chef/manager speaks five languages and is a great resource for travel info.
Favorite Dish: Had an excellent pizza for lunch, and a few days later had a vegetarian goulash of fresh local produce over potatoes.

Address: Lake Atitlán, Sololá, Guatemala
Does anyone have suggestions about travel from the airport in Guatemala City to San Marcos? We were told by our hotel that we can arrange a shuttle to take us directly from the airport to San Marcos for $100 (for two people). I thought this seemed a little steep and was wondering if other had better information. We don't want to draw out the length of the trip a lot (would like to keep it between 4-6) hours. We will be getting into the airport around 2 or 3pm. Can we take a bus to Panachel and then a boat to San Marcos? Is there a better route? Any idea how much this would cost and how long it would take. Also, my Spanish is a bit rusty, but I can communicate the basics.

The best way to reach San Marcos is by boat. 30 minutes from Panajachel (cost 20 quetzales, around $2.50) or 20 minutes from San Pedro. An amazing trip, through the Atitlan Lake.

Favorite thing: The people here are friendly. Smile and strangers become friends. Smile and a friend will return the smile. Be courteous and polite.
Fondest memory: I have many fond memories of San Marcos, but the one that immediately comes to my mind is of my new friend in San Marcos. Even out in the middle of nowhere you will find Yankees fans! That way cool.

A small, clean and peaceful town, out of the beaten path. Has a new age feeling with vegetarian restaurants and yoga centers.
San Marcos was originally meant for meditation,
