  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  In San Pedro and around lake Atitlan we have a lot of traditional culture you can experience, like the maya ceremonies and traditional activities in the village depending the month of the year.
  I have some experience in gardening, construction and maintenance.
  By hosting people, I hope to also learn about different cultures, about their music, traditions, believes, food, their own philosophy of live, own experiences, knowledge and skills etc.

  During your time off you can go for a walk, ride a bike, horse riding, swimming in the lake by taking a hiking trail on the other side of the road; take salsa/ painting/yoga/cooking/Spanish classes. Between 10 minutes of home there are 3 highly rated restaurants, several grocery stores, 2 laundry facilities, 2 swimming pools, 2 Spanish schools.
  15 minutes walking from home you can eat a traditional Guatemalan lunch for a good price. In downtown you can visit a pub, a restaurant, a museum or visit a Mirador.
  You also can take a public boat to visit the different towns around the lake, or take a public bus or a shuttle and visit Quetzaltenango or Chichicastenango. Or just to hang out on your patio enjoying the lovely view of the mountains, sky, lake, birds, dragonflies, butterflies and feel the sun energy.
  At night enjoy the moon when is orange and its bright light is reflecting into the lake super powerful or listening to the crickets then your soul is filled up. When is windy you hear the water sounds from the lake like you are on the sea.
  We appreciate, you respect the property rules and privacy: the workers, the pets, not smoking indoor and outdoor, not using drugs, not drinking, not partying, no visitors, no pets, music and tv moderate volume, classifying the trash, do compost.
