Getting Here
From Guatemala City or Antigua: Take a shuttle directly to San Marcos, or to Panajachel (approximately 3 hours), then a public boat (lancha) to San Marcos La Laguna (approximately 30 minutes). From the dock, it's a 7-minute walk on a path to Bosque Encantado. The walk is flat and easy once you reach the central area of the village. We'll send detailed directions and a map with your booking confirmation.
