Budget-Friendly Yoga Retreat at Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala

I had such an amazing time at the yoga retreat in Bali that I wanted to take a similar trip but somewhere closer to home and more affordable. There are plenty of yoga retreats in Costa Rica but I’ve already been there so I started looking into Guatemala and found the perfect yoga retreat at Villa Sumaya.

Exploring San Juan La Laguna with Voltan Adventures at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

My friend and I were staying at Villa Sumaya, a beautiful resort located on Lake Atitlan, and we wanted to visit one of the towns in the area. There are 12 towns around Lake Atitlan and they are all accessible by boat. You can explore these areas on your own, but we wanted to know the culture and history of the area, so the staff at Villa Sumaya recommended Voltan Adventures.
