Tour Itinerary:

Mayan Home Stay has started this home stay program in the village to give something back to the communities around Lake Atitlan, and also to give you a very genuine of living with a Maya local family to see and experience their culture and customs.

Meals in the home will be prepared by the mother of the family and you will have the opportunity to enjoy dinner and breakfast with the family. (Both are included in the price). This is exciting since we need to allocate you with the family where you will sleep! Important: Don't expect to stay in Panajachel center, you will stay where the locals live in a very safe neighborhood.

You can stay one ore more nights with a family from the ethnic group of the Kakchiquel in San Jorge La Laguna.

This experience is runs for 7 years to the village and families who welcome foreigners into their homes. As a responsible traveler, we as guests must be aware of and sensitive to the culture by behaving respectfully during our time with the family and in the village.
Although shy at first, the villagers are very friendly and welcoming people.

The home stay will give you a genuine insight into the everyday lives of a local family. If you take photos of the people in the village, please always ask before you take them.
