Before You Arrive

What to Bring

You need very little. We provide the rest.

Comfortable Clothes

Breathable layers you can move in, plus a warm layer for early mornings and evenings. For aerial silks, wear leggings that cover the backs of your knees.

A Water Bottle

Refill it free at the filtered-water station in front of the cafe.

Mats and Props Provided

Mats, blocks, bolsters and blankets are here for you. You're welcome to bring your own mat.

An Open-Air Platform

Most classes run on the open-air platform, with Lake Atitlan and its volcanoes in view. In very heavy rain, class moves to the covered Shala below.

Arrive 15 to 30 Minutes Early

Finding Eagle's Nest for the first time can take a while, and classes that have begun can't admit latecomers (we'll rebook you into a later class). Come early, enjoy a drink at the cafe, say hi to the cats and settle in.

Finding Us

Where to Find Us in San Marcos La Laguna

Eagle's Nest sits on a steep, forested hillside above San Marcos La Laguna, a small village on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, known for its wellness community. The last stretch is a climb on foot up a stepped footpath, so give yourself extra time on your first visit.

From the Dock

Take a tuk-tuk from the San Marcos dock and ask for Eagle's Nest, or walk up through the village.

Follow the Yellow Arrows

Coming up the road from town, our sign is on the left just before Shangri-La. Hand-painted yellow arrows lead up the footpath to the gate.

Skip the Map App

Map apps can send you the wrong way here, so check our arrival guide before you set off.
