Getting Here
ARRIVING TO OUR RETREAT CENTER
Villa Sumaya is located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala near the village of Santa Cruz La Laguna. The Villa is only 10 minute boat ride from
Panajachel, which is a 3 hour drive from Guatemala’s international airport in Guatemala City. Private shuttles from the airport may be organized through us via email.
Local boat transportation from Panajachel’s Tzanjuyu (sounds like san-who-you) dock is available every half hour (more or less) from 7:00am to 5:30pm, after 5:30pm there are two more boats at 6:30 and 7:30pm. . Price is about Q20 per person (about $3.00) . Ask the boat driver to drop you off at the Villa Sumaya dock, otherwise you will have a 15 minute walk from the main Santa Cruz dock. We recommend for late arrivals (after 5:30pm) you order a private boat that can also be arranged at the docks starting at $20.00 per trip with 1-4 people. Villa Sumaya can also arrange for private boats at your convenience. If you would like for us to arrange for a private shuttle from Airport or Antigua, and/ or a private boat from Panajachel for your arrival, just let us know in advanced.
