Additional Information
If you are looking for a different activity to do in Lake Atitlan, then we have what you are looking for. We want to take you to have a fully interactive experience with the community of Santiago Atitlan and with the Tul plantation. Tul is a very important plant for the lake communities as they have many uses for it. It is used to purify the lake water, give a home to water animals and birds, and make different crafts.
Join the adventure of getting on a kayuko (a traditional rowing boat), interact with a local from Santiago, have the opportunity to plant one of these plants, and learn about the crafts that are made from this plant. Enjoy to the fullest!
- If you wish to participate in the tul planting, please note that you will have to go into the lake. Water shoes and shorts are appropriate. Remember to include a towel so you can dry off afterward.
- Wear sun protection such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
