This type of line, or better, a slackline in this contexte is much more difficult to walk compared to a normal one, above solid ground, because the optical senses do not have any good reference anymore. On top of that, you can not simply start from the ground by stepping onto the waterline but you have to manage some kind of mount to feet, from a sitting or droknee position. Reference: https://slacktivity.com/waterline-slackline/ Quickly hit a 👍 if you're joining us. See you later, we look forward to it. 🤙🙌 Jam session is free, bring good vibes and snacks to share! 🍓🍌🥦🥑🥖🧀 If you have any questions shout me a DM @andieausdemwald on Instagram

Indian Nose is the mountain with the distinctive profile of a sleeping Mayan chief. The best (and also safest!) way to get here is to book a tour. The shuttle bus leaves at 4 a.m. in the morning. Then you hike with a guide for 30 minutes to the tip of the nose (bring a headlamp with you). At the top you can watch the sun rise over a small breakfast and then it's back down. You are back at 7.30 a.m. Costs about 100 quetzales.

San Marcos, a small colorful pearl on Lake Atitlán. Even if it's touristy, the small town exudes a good, chilled vibe. Here hippies, dropouts, backpackers cavort. Anyone looking for relaxation in the form of yoga and meditation will be overwhelmed with offers here. There is also a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights. Vegetarians and vegans in particular have a large selection here.

On the Kastenweg from San Marcos to Santa Cruz you come through the small village of Tzununá. There are small kiosks here where you can buy drinks or something to eat.
