The weather at Lake Atitlán is temperate, earning its nickname, “The Land of Eternal Spring.” Days are typically warm, and nights can get cool, so we recommend dressing in layers.

During the green season (May to October), you can expect rain, often in the afternoons or evenings, so be sure to bring a poncho or umbrella. The roads in Tzununá are mostly unpaved, so closed-toed shoes are recommended for easier walking.

We are proud to have been the first home in Tzununá to carry fiber optic internet. However, like many places in Central America, power outages can occur, which may affect the speed and availability of our Wi-Fi. We do our best to ensure connectivity, but we encourage our guests to enjoy moments of digital detox when the opportunity arises.
