Highlights
Walk the Face of the Earth on the Sacred Path of the Sun: Author & lecturer Vincent Stanzione has opened his mountain home in an exclusive arrangement to offer an amazing experience. This experience will enable you to enter the Maya world in truly authentic ways. It allows visitors to learn about the Maya Civilization by entering the Maya World of the Present Day. Let us take you to places nobody but the Maya ever go while learning all you can from a researcher and writer who is hungry to share the world he has made his home. Guiding enables those of us who have attained a great deal of knowledge to share it with others in a direct way. So take a walk with Vincent along the flowery paths during this fascinating day in the highlands, high above Lake Atitlan. Learn about the Maya and the Mesoamerican traditions, their cosmo-magical thinking, their calendar, the way of living in the world, their myths and their deep sense of being the descendants of divine ancestors.

About Panajachel
Panajachel is a lakeside town on Lake Atitlán in the Guatemalan highlands, ringed by volcanoes and Maya villages reached by ferry.
Panajachel stands on the northern shore of Lake Atitlán, at about 1,560 metres, in the Guatemalan highlands. The lake fills a vast volcanic caldera, and the cones of the Atitlán, Tolimán and San Pedro volcanoes rise from its southern shore. Calle Santander, the main street, runs down to the water lined with stalls selling woven textiles, and Kaqchikel Maya families still live and work in the town.
Top-ranked sights in Panajachel: Lake Atitlan (Lago de Atitlán), Chichicastenango, Atitlan Nature Reserve (Reserva Natural Atitlán).
