Lodging

 

If you'd like to stay overnight--or even for several days between adventures--you'll find Finca Xetuc's accommodations to be spacious, comfortable, and unique.  The master suite is located on the main floor and consists of a library and mini-museum, a full private bathroom (shower), and a spacious bedroom with its own fireplace.

If you are interested in something even MORE private, book our subterranean Caveroom, which was originally developed as a large safe room during the war. It adds another dimension to the tranquility and silence of the surrounding forest. 

In either case, you'll have ready access to our comfortable reading room and library, complete with free WiFi.

... is located on Lago de Atitlán, which has an elevation of 5,105 feet (1,556 m). The town sits on a bay of Lago Atitlan between two volcanos. Volcan San Pedro  is west of town; Volcan Toliman rises to the southeast. Volcan Atitlán, with a summit of 3,516 metres (11,535 ft), is south-southeast of town.  Santiago Atitlán is southwest of Panajachel across the lake. Major highways reach Lago Atitlán at San Lucas Toliman and Panajachel.
