Santa Cruz la Laguna Guatemala Central America
Nature

Laguna Lodge is a hotel on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, whose breathtaking beauty rivals Lake Como in Italy. It has its own nature reserve where you can explore a primal rainforest's abundance of flora and fauna. Whether you want to relax and unwind or have fun on one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, this is the place to be!

While Lake Atitlán's unique beauty and towering volcanoes often receive well-deserved praise, its lakeside towns have narrow streets and loud vehicles, disturbing the tranquility of this pretty place. The solution? An accommodation far from the buzz, only accessible by boat.
