LA LANCHA

Head off on an early-morning tour of the Mayan ruins before returning to a dip in the tiered pool or the lake, reached by a series of serpentine paths. Here, guests can swim, canoe or go out on birdwatching tours. In the evenings, hike back up the hill to the open-air restaurant; the daily changing menu features excellent Guatemalan-Italian cuisine.
