The Bambu Guest House's private room fits up to 3 and is the perfect place to relax and re-connect. Built from sustainably harvested bamboo, stone, and glass, and furnished with locally crafted furniture and traditional textiles, it is unarguably beautiful. Large windows look out onto Lake Atitlan and its volcanoes. The room has its own private bathroom with hot water, attached balcony with hammock and seating, and WiFi.
Surrounded by amazing natural beauty and the rich culture of traditional Mayan people, guests can hike to nearby waterfalls for a swim or into the mountains for amazing views of the whole lake. San Marcos is a 15 minute tuk-tuk (local taxi) ride away and boasts lots of activities for entertainment. The guest house is closely connected to Atitlan Organics and guests are encouraged to join the weekly farm tour every Monday at 10:00.

Fun things to do nearby
Lakeside lounging is a must, but if you're also looking for something more active we can help you arrange kayak rentals or Stand Up Paddleboard excursions on the lake. Hike nearby Indian Nose or San Pedro Volcano at sunrise, or check out the Atitlan Nature Reserve outside of Panajachel for a heart-pounding zipline adventure. Whatever your pace, there's something for you at the lake!
