LAGUNA LODGE Tucked along the shore of lake Atitlan, with its misty volcanoes and Maya villages, Laguna’s six suites artfully blend adobe bricks, river stone, and brightly embroidered huipils and hand-loomed blankets. The dining titls organic, fresh, and meat free, and the aromatic coffee comes from the lodge’s own gardens and is roasted on-site. A hundred acre nature reserve established by the lodge reaches from the shore up 1,305 feet. Old Maya trails wind through some of the last remaining primary tropical dry forest around the lake, home to belted flycatchers and other endemic birds. Adrenaline buffs can jump from high rock faces into the deep water.6 rooms; from $240, including breakfast and boat transportation to and from Panajachel.
