Get ready to challenge your balance and test your skills as you walk, bounce, and surf across our waterline suspended above the stunning turquoise waters of Lake Atitlán with volcanoes as background. Whether you're a seasoned slackliner or a curious beginner, everyone is welcome to come and soak up the excitement! 🌞 📅 Date: Wendesday, March 27 🕚 Time: 11 AM - Sunset 📍 Location: Playa Punta Tzancuil https://maps.app.goo.gl/PhZ2chKzEQ9wZkpv6 What to Expect: 🤸‍♂️ Waterline: Experience the thrill of walking suspended above the water with our 50 meter rigged line using personal protective gear at all times. 🎉 Jam Session Vibes: Bring your Ukulele, hand-drum or portable speaker to groove while mingling with fellow slackliners and outdoor enthusiasts. 🥗 Sharing is caring: To keep you fueled for all the action, bring snacks and water to share with everyone. 📸 Photoshooting: Capture epic moments against the backdrop of Lake Atitlán's breathtaking scenery.

Spread the word, tag your friends, and let's make a splash at the Lake Atitlán Waterline Jam Session! 💦🌴 📖 What is a Waterline? A Waterline is a slackline that is rigged above water. 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.
