Next, board your private helicopter to Lake Atitlán, crossing over the Mayan Guatemalan Highlands. Luxury travel to Guatemala would be incomplete without a stay at Casa Palopó. Framed by the mile-high waters of Lake Atitlán, this Relais & Chateaux villa accommodation offers a modern-rustic ambience chock full of bright colors and arty flourishes. Overy three days, enjoy several cultural and adventure-filled experiences. For instance, take a morning to go kayaking on the lake, followed by a hike to Tzununa. Along the way, view the Kaqchikel Maya villagers going about their daily lives. You will also visit a local ceramics workshop to learn about the creation process and work with the artisans to create your own personalized piece. Finally, enjoy a visit to San Juan village for a backstrap weaving demonstration and lesson by the Tz’utujil women. Of course, you will leave with your own piece to take home with you.
