Hotel La Paz

San Marcos La Laguna


Along the upper trail that links the two main paths, the holistically minded La Paz has rambling gardens holding bungalows of traditional bajareque (a stone, bamboo and mud material) with thatched roofs. A vegetarian restaurant, traditional Maya sauna, Spanish lessons and morning yoga sessions are additional attractions.
