Laura
Loved this SUP Yo Adventure. Enjoyed paddle boarding, hiking, sweat lodges, Mayan Fire Ceremony, aerial yoga, cliff jumping & an amazing sound bath. The activities were challenging & pushed our limits. The people attracted to this experience were remarkably well suited & like minded. The location- Villa Sumaya, Lake Atitlan, GT was mystical & magic with volcanoes & gorgeous terrain.
The food was also excellent, well thought out & prepared. Loved the daily yoga & beautiful space we practiced in. Very zen location & sound of waves topped it off.
Vera
Advertised as Magical Guatemala Adventure absolutely nailed this trip. From different very unique Mayan ceremonies to challenging activities, crossing this magical lake on a stand up paddle-board ( less than 100 people have done so in the past) to kayaking and cliff jumping, hiking, yoga and local market tour, is an unforgettable experience. I have been on multiple SupYo Adventures and I am still amazed at the incredible like minded people those tours attract. I always make new wonderful forever friends , always, always fast bonding amazing group dynamics.
