Casa CobAnanda is a regenerative project meant to nurture the land, strengthen the local community and create a space conducive to healing and celebration. To make this dream a reality, we have built a yoga platform, community kitchen, hobbit house, two cabins, camping spaces, sauna, vegetable gardens, meditation pond, worm condo and chicken coop. If you are interested in any of the following opportunities, please... Contact Us.
Room Rental (top)
Our property is nestled in an avocado grove with beautiful views of Lake Atitlan. We currently have a hobbit house, two cabins, and eight camping spots which come furnished with mattresses, bedding and dresser. If you are bringing a group to Casa CobAnanda, there is an additional "Site Rental Fee" to ensure exclusivity and privacy during your stay.

Cleanses, Treatments & Retreat Support (top)
We support several different healing practices and techniques that cleanse mental impurities and false constructs in order to allow our inner light to shine. If you're a retreat leader, you may also incorporate these into your retreats. We're here to help :)

Group Retreats & Trainings (top)
Outdoor Kitchen
Several times a year we host group retreats and trainings. In "Elemental Harmony" we study the elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Ether) of which everything is made in order to better understand ourselves, allowing us to make aligned decisions, leading to better life outcomes. Another, called "Sacred Space", is a 50hr Yoga Alliance Certified training in spiritual space holding and facilitation. And finally, we facilitate a 300hr Yoga Alliance Certified "Earth Medicine: Yoga Teacher Training" hosted by Kula Collective. Click a date below for more information.

Casa CobAnanda is located in Tzununa. One village away is the lively tourist hub of San Marcos. Here are some tips if you're arriving from San Marcos...
- Coming by TucTuc
Try to find a Tzununa TucTuc. Their TucTuc stand is right around the corner from where the San Marcos tuctuc stand is, behind the church. Tzununa TucTucs are much more likely to know where we are located and they tend to be more affordable, approximatley Q20/person. Ask them to take you to "Casa CobAnanda". If they seem confused, try "Casa de Coby". If they're still confused, try a different TucTuc. - Coming by boat
All boats that leave the San Marcos dock going towards Panajachel will stop in Tzununa. They'll generally charge Q10. On the Tzununa dock you'll be greeted by TucTuc drivers all of whom should know "Casa CobAnanda" and will generally charge Q10/passanger. - From the road to our house
Once you've been dropped off, you're almost there! Just a one minute walk from the road to your room. But, there aren't any signs. So, here's a pin of where the trail begins and below is a photo of the path you'll take. We're the first door on the right pictured below :)
