This elegant yoga retreat, surrounded by lush tropical flora, offers magnificent lake views and features a healing spa and pool and healthy, organic, gourmet cuisine made with fresh, locally grown ingredients. (And, by the way, you can buy the Villa Sumaya cookbook.)

Meson Panza Verde (our 1st night. . . 7th)
Antigua Guatemala was the cultural, economic, religious, political and educational center for the entire region until the capital was moved in 1773. The pattern of straight lines established by the grid of north-south and east-west streets and inspired by the Italian Renaissance is one of the best examples in Latin American town planning
Antigua Guatemala contains living traces of Spanish culture with its principal monuments, built in the Baroque style of the 18th century preserved today as ruins. The city’s Baroque-style monumental buildings and ruins have survived along with cobblestone streets, plazas with fountains, and domestic architecture. .Antigua has some magnificent examples of colonial Barroco antigueño architecture in the Americas.
In Antigua, you will stay in Meson Panza, a boutique hotel established in 1986 as the first Luxury Boutique Hotel and Restaurant (European style) in Antigua. offering unique rooms and exceptional cuisine.
