April at Lake Atitlán brings both sunshine and occasional rain, so pack light layers and versatile clothing for all conditions. We will be enjoying nature excursions so you’ll also want to pack appropriate clothing & footwear for these adventures!

Here are some essentials:

Comfortable clothes for yoga, ceremony, and relaxation A warm layer or shawl for cool evenings & mornings Lightweight rain jacket or poncho Supportive shoes for hiking steep terrain Sandals or slip-ons for downtime Swimsuit for the lake

Personal care items & toiletries

Journal, reusable water bottle, and deet-free insect repellent

One small sacred item to add to our collective altar (a crystal, oracle card, or other any object that holds meaning for you)

Yes! All water at the retreat center is clean and filtered.

In April you can expect warm and pleasant day-time temperatures ranging from 70-mid 80s. Because of the altitude, temperatures drop in the evenings and early mornings, so you'll want to pack a sweater or light jacket for these cooler periods.

Plan to arrive into Guatemala City (La Aurora) International airport on or before April 13th.

We recommend arriving a day earlier to take your time with the travel to the retreat center, adjust to time differences, and get settled. A great place to stay after arrival is Antigua (can take a bus/shuttle from Guatemala City to Antigua, a 1-2 hour transit time).

We will arrange a shuttle to pick up the group on the arrival day, but if you choose to come early, be sure to give ample travel time to arrive at Jaibalito dock before 4pm. You will take a shuttle to Panajachel, Lake Atitlan and from there take a boat to Jaibalito. We will send more information about travel options to/from the locations after registration and are available to help you arrange upon request.

There are a variety of sleeping arrangements to choose from - please see our "accommodations page” for a detailed view of the room options. There are both single and shared accommodations, and they can be booked with a partner or friend if you would like. All rooms, with the exception of the glamping tent are for an additional charge.
