Eco-tourism and more

One of the planet’s most majestic spots, Lake Atitlan offers something for everyone. Right from our hotel, you can hike up to high canyon waterfalls, paddle on the glassy morning lake to a hot spring, or walk the trail to neighboring Mayan villages. Want to climb a volcano? We can set that up, too. Isla Verde is also the hub for ‘voluntourism’ around Lake Atitlan, offering several opportunities for you to get engaged, and to make a difference in the community.

Activities

Make a difference

For many of our guests, traveling is about giving back, or getting hands-on experience with sustainable development. We do more than advocate for ethical tourism, we are working on several sustainability projects in and around Santa Cruz, the Mayan village that we call home. Have an idea, or a non-profit project? Please contact us!

Connect. Breathe. Create

The magical energy of Lake Atitlan has attracted travelers, explorers, and settlers for hundreds of years. At Isla Verde you’ll find not only energy and inspiration, but spaces and places to play, stretch, work, or craft. Whether a yoga class or a solar oven workshop, we offer activities to engage people of all ages and walks of life.

Relax. Restore. Unwind

Walk from your lake-view cabin down to the spacious palapa for a meeting or a meditation, then order a stuffed avocado or wait for our legendary three-course dinner. Come alone, or bring a whole clan, we can handle your wedding as well as your workshop.
