MAIN Earthship cabins with EPIC lake view and spring water!

Stay in a home designed to waste nothing. Our Earthship is an architectural marvel built from recycled materials, including tires, bottles, and cans, and is crafted using world-renowned Earthship Biotecture principles and traditional Mayan craftsmanship. This unique property overlooks the breathtaking Lake Atitlan – a supervolcano crater lake surrounded by volcanoes and indigenous villages.

Location & Community

We are situated high above San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala – a hub for yoga, meditation, and holistic healing. The Yoga Forest is next door, and our neighbor roasts fresh local coffee you can enjoy in the shared outdoor kitchen. San Marcos is a spiritual community with yoga schools, massage therapists, herbal classes, and traditional Mayan culture interwoven with an international expat presence.
