About La Iguana Perdida

Address: Lake Atitlan, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Come join us under the volcanoes where you can learn to dive, swim in a volcanic lake, study Spanish, hike to waterfalls, volcanic peaks and neighboring Mayan villages, or simply lie in a hammock and enjoy doing nothing at all.

After years without electricity, we finally succumbed and now offer cold beers, hot showers and internet service. Electricity is limited so kerosene lamps provide light in the evenings. Our family-style dinners often lead to hours of story telling, board games, very bad jokes, guitars & sing-alongs.

We are primarily a backpacker hostel but our rooms now range from simple to downright luxurious. There's space for around fifty people the last time someone found the energy to count, and our newest rooms are suitable even for those above 30! We've got three dormitories with 22 beds in total, several single/double rooms and even some triples for the kinky among you. Seven shared bath facilities are on the grounds so you won't have to wait in line, and yes, the showers are HOT!

From 8AM - 3PM daily we offer breakfasts & lunches aimed to satisfy the hungry backpacker. Egg dishes, crepes, fruit, salad, sandwiches and the like are prepared lovingly by our staff of indigenous women and cost around $2.50 a meal.

Dinner is served at 7:00 and the fixed menu is a delicious 3-course meal consisting of soup with homemade bread, a main course (vegetarian option always available), and coffee, tea & cake for dessert - all for Q50 (US$6.50).

Saturday nights at La Iguana Perdida are somewhat legendary on the backpacker trail. Our famous costume dress-up party and BBQ are the highlight of most people's trips. We serve chicken or veggie burgers and a huge buffet of side dishes and salads, followed by our famous chocolate brownies. Our dance party usually includes live music, twister, catwalks and craziness. The bar is open every day and night for sodas, beer, wine, spirits and bottled

Amazing views, delicious food, clean rooms, great diving, and world-class laziness are all here waiting for you!

I'd like to say, this was one of the most pleasant spots I have ever vacationed to and stayed at. From the manager Schones, to Loran the wickly attentative and resource for almost everything to Dave and Deddle the owners. All others were as nice and accomadating to try to meet your needs. The housekeeping as well as the well planned family style meals were just to good not to mention. If you get the chance, stay here. roger, from USA ~ 9th Aug 2011
