Jaibalito

So small that it rarely appears on maps of the region, Jaibalito is the most undisturbed of the villages surrounding Lago Atitlán. Santa Cruz La Laguna is a short walk away, but otherwise Jaibalito is quite isolated. There is no boat service after 6 pm, so this village is only for travelers seeking peace and quiet. Lodgings here can be difficult to contact by phone at times. Keep trying.
