Cerro Tzankujil: trails, viewpoints and the jump platform
The government SIC listing, checked 25 October 2026, describes trails and viewpoints, walking, taking in the landscape and recreational and adventure activities. That gives the reserve a purpose beyond jumping: walking and looking out over the lake are also part of the visit.
SIC publishes Monday-to-Sunday opening hours of 08:00 to 17:00. Its hours-and-fees section contains no entrance amount, so confirm the charge and current opening arrangements locally.
SIC describes the jumping platform as approximately 20 metres high. That is the listing’s claim, rather than an independently measured height or confirmation that jumping is available on your visit. Our Cerro Tzankujil guide discusses the reserve in more detail; published height descriptions differ, so this page does not treat a platform measurement as settled.
Yoga and meditation without an overnight retreat
Eagle’s Nest: a class, a day or a monthly pass
Eagle’s Nest’s yoga-class page, checked 25 October 2026, explicitly welcomes visitors who are not staying there. It advertises classes from $15, says most cost $25 to $35, and states that online payment adds a 5% card fee. Reception payment is available if there is space; mats and props are provided.
Its $49 Day Pass covers every yoga and movement class that day except aerial silks. Its $149 Monthly Pass includes 10 classes, excluding aerial silks, plus 4 sauna sessions. These are Eagle’s Nest’s published prices read 25 October 2026; the pass inclusions differ from an overnight stay.
The operator says most classes welcome all levels, but Ashtanga assumes knowledge of most of the First Series. For an overnight programme rather than a day visit, see the Lake Atitlán yoga-retreat guide.
Las Piramides del Ka: individually priced classes
The Las Piramides del Ka Moon Course page, checked 25 October 2026, labels its class prices in quetzales: Q100 yoga, Q100 meditation and Q150 metaphysics. This is a class-price comparison, rather than a claim that accommodation is included in a class ticket.
The same page separately says its day, week and month options include accommodation and communal spaces. Confirm attendance arrangements with the centre when booking a class alongside its course programme.
Kawoq Forest: resolve the price discrepancy first
Kawoq Forest’s yoga page, checked 25 October 2026, welcomes drop-ins and says classes are available in English and Spanish. Attendance involves a hike to the Forest.
Its pricing is inconsistent. One section advertises a yoga class at Q190 / $25; the booking section says the current class price is US$22 per person, with all classes priced in USD regardless of country. Neither amount can be treated here as the confirmed payable price. Obtain the operator’s price before paying or making the hike.
Boat trips, walking and paddling
The San Juan municipal tourism notice, updated 4 April 2025 and checked 25 October 2026, describes the boatmen’s route between San Juan and Panajachel. Its stops include San Marcos and Tzununá, making boats a documented way to connect these places.
The notice reports the association’s Q25 fare to towns on the route. That older route-wide statement is not a freshly confirmed short-hop quote from San Marcos. Ask the captain for the fare and the return departure for your destination. The notice also instructs passengers to wear a life jacket and ask the captain how to use it correctly. For arrival logistics, see Panajachel to San Marcos.
The boat notice does not establish walking times, distances or trail safety between San Marcos, Tzununá and San Juan. It cannot serve as walking-route guidance.
A San Marcos-specific kayak or SUP rental price and availability could not be verified. Rental prices from an operator elsewhere on the lake do not establish equipment availability in San Marcos; the Lake Atitlán kayaking guide covers the wider activity.
