What life looks like here
A month at the lake
Residency at Atitlan Eco is not a holiday. It is a month-long commitment to practice, community, and the clarity that comes from slowing all the way down. You will have structure and you will have space. Both are necessary.
“Live simply yet beautifully — with nourishing meals, peaceful rhythms, and a community grounded in both the scientific and spiritual understanding of transformation.”
A month is long enough to belong here. You practice, eat, and live alongside the community. You are not passing through.
Daily rhythm
A typical day
A wellness program. Sessions may include yoga, meditation and breathwork, or a waterfall hike.
Free to explore events in Tzununa and around the lake. A good time to step out, discover places to dine, and find what is happening in Tzununa and San Marcos.
A day off. Only breakfast is served. The rest of the day is yours, with optional programs around the lake (Kirtan, Ecstatic Dance, etc).
Yours. Dinner at nearby places (Trece Cielos, Aviva, Granja Tz’ikin, Love Probiotics and many more), as well as many events happening in Tzununa and San Marcos.
Consider an afternoon in San Juan with a lovely traditional dinner there before heading back to our sanctuary.

Everything that matters
Included for all residents
Who this is for
Is this the right fit?
For anyone who likes a basic structure, and the independence to work on their own project. The morning has yoga and a wellness session. After that, the day is yours.
Amazing for entrepreneurs, remote workers, yoga teachers seeking to dive deeper into their practice, and travelers who want to stay long enough for the lake to feel familiar, the towns to open up, and the month to become a life rather than a stop. Just as good for artists, writers, and anyone ready to give their own work a real stretch of time.
