The lake is one of the most beautiful spots in the world.  It’s actually a crater lake, originating from a giant volcanic explosion thousands of years ago.  Dramatic volcanos still grace the southern end of the lake and quaint Mayan villages dot the shores.  Each village specializes in a different craft from ceramics to beadwork or naturally dyed woven goods.  Visit them all!  The lake is also a known spiritual vortex and popular for seekers of all kinds.  We hold one of our signature yoga retreats here as well.  It’s a truly special place.
