Getting Here
Doron Yoga, Doron Yoga, Tzununa, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Directions
Atitlan Eco Retreat is a spiritual eco-village based on permaculture principles with touches of Zen. It manifests the power and energy of the magnificent Lake Atitlan, which is viewed majestically from its grounds, with volcanoes framing it so perfectly.
We may just have one of the most beautiful yoga spaces in the world, consisting of a huge cypress, floating wooden floor, surrounded by large glass sliding doors, bamboo pillars, and jaw-dropping views. High ceilings of bamboo with extra insulation keep the temperatures perfect year-round. It is a temple sitting along the Tzununa River, allowing the sound of water flow to calm and soothe softly.
We are part of the Mayan village of Tzununa in Guatemala. Located 10 min walk from Lake Atitlan, set in the valley with a river flowing through our grounds. Hammocks hang by the river and in the gardens and paths are paved with local stone, and the Buddha Café offers a place to rest, connect with new friends, read, and have some delicious food (much of it from our organic gardens), homemade snacks (bliss balls, black bean brownies, muffins), kombucha, and ginger beer.
Permaculture principles are followed to ecologically enhance the quality of the construction and design functionality of the center. We grow coffee, bananas, avocados, lettuces, beans, yams, radishes, herbs, and around 30 other fruits and vegetables (Yum, guacamole!).
We have a beautiful fire ceremony circle under the grand Jocote tree (which you may want to climb). We built a natural, large, ceremonial-grade sauna to help with detoxing and cleansing. We offer massages and can organize tours around the lake for you.
We’ve built the Atitlan Eco Retreat on high-frequency vibration land. We are sure you will feel it as you come to stay with us. As one guest stated: ‘enter’ doesn't seem to be the most fitting word- maybe something like ‘dream village’ or ‘yoga farm’ or ‘riverbank Zen oasis’. I smile just to think of it.”
