Things to Know
Planning Your Flight
-
You will be flying into Guatemala City Airport (GUA)
-
Lake Atitlan is about 4 hours away from the city - you will need to take a shuttle from the city to the lake
-
This is where you may want to be strategic
-
If your flight gets in before 11a, you have a good chance of making it to the farm in time for opening day activities.
-
If the only flight options you have arrive in the afternoon or evening, I recommend flying in a day before & spending the night in the city or Antigua, then heading to the lake in the early morning on March 16
-
I personally spend a night in Antigua, its a colonial city about 1 hour away from the airport with many hotels & hostels to choose from.
-
-
My recommendation:
-
Fly in as early as possible to make it to the lake on the same day.
-
If you can pad a few extra days onto your trip, do it!
-
You may want to have a day or two after the retreat to rest & reintegrate before heading back home.
-
Trust me, once you're on the lake you won't want to leave haha!

About the Mystical Yoga Farm
The Mystical Yoga Farm is an off-the-grid, sustainable farm. They pride theirselves in being stewards of the land and being as environmentally conscious & connected as possible. This is a sanctuary to disconnect and come back to the harmony of nature. That being said:
-
There is NO WIFI at the farm
-
depending on your service provider you can probably still receive & send messages
-
-
They strive for zero waste!
-
All trashed is processed on the farm - plastic, glass, burnables, etc
-
Please be mindful of what you bring onto the property such as items individually wrapped in plastic, non recyclables, etc
-
-
The farm is right on the water, to avoid any runoff that may be toxic to the lake please bring eco friendly bath products
-
Most of the toilets are compost toilets! I find them fun to use and there's a certain satisfaction that comes from knowing that the nutrients the Earth once gave to be me will be turned into nutrients for her - Full Circle! And no, they don't stink!
-
All water goes through a triple filtration process on site
-
Because the electricity is solar powered, blow dryers & flat irons are not allowed.
-
It is rustic, as most of Guatemala is, and that's part of the beauty - returning to simplicity.
Getting to the Mystical Yoga Farm
I'll be honest, getting to the lake can feel like a journey within itself, and I like to think it is. Lake Atitlan is a very special place. She has strong medicine to offer, but she does make you put in a little effort to receive it. Just know that if you feel yourself being called to the lake, if you find yourself on a shuttle riding the winding roads of the mountains - then you are meant to be there. I can assure you, it is 111% worth it :)

Fly into Guatemala City Airport (GUA)
-
Take a shuttle from either GUA or Antigua depending on your arrival
-
Once you get to the lake you will take a Lancha (small boat) to the Mystical Yoga Farm
-
Private shuttles will take you to the Santiago dock
-
From Santiago, you will take a private Lancha (small boat) to the Mystical Yoga Farm
-
-
Public shuttles will only take you to Panajachel
-
From Panajachel (Pana for short), you have 2 options:
-
Take a public boat from Pana to Santiago- then a private boat to the Mystical Yoga Farm (budget friendly but more hassle)
-
Take a private boat from Pana straight to the farm
-
-
You can find more info on getting to the farm here
Once I receive participant flight confirmations I can begin organizing the private shuttles. Fees for the shuttle will vary based on number of riders.
