The Relational Way at Earth Lodge
Your home in the mountains
Earth Lodge rests on the north side of the Panchoy Valley where we will be in close relationship with the mountains for six nights. Earth Lodge is home to over 350 organic Haas avocado trees, (each fed compost from the kitchen – one of the many regenerative practices they engage in to live in harmony with the land). This organic avocado farm is cared for by local village men who carry the medicine of ancestral farming practices and knowledge of many generations.
Earth Lodge is an eco-lodge with comfortable and rustic cabins made with local materials. All rooms feature private bathrooms, organic toiletries, locally crafted textiles, and gorgeous views of the mountains and jungle. Each room opens onto garden spaces where we’ll lead plant walks/informal herbal wisdom sharing or nature walks, connecting you to the land we are guests on. You can learn more about Earth Lodge here.
Accommodation Options
Standard Shared - $1,895
Cabaña de Acatenango and Fuego are cozy A-frame cabins with stunning views of the volcanoes. Each cabin includes one double bed and one single bed, making them ideal for solo travelers, couples, or friends who are comfortable sharing a room — but not a bed. These simple yet inviting cabins also feature a beautiful private covered outdoor lounge, perfect for birdwatching, sunsets, or a quiet morning cup of local coffee from the neighbors coffee fica right next door.
Premium Shared - $1,995
Perched in the treetops with stunning views of the jungle and volcanoes, these thoughtfully designed cabins — including Cabaña de la Selva, Tierra, Buena Vista, Árboles, Sueco and geo dome Asper — each offer their own unique charm. Some feature open-air bathrooms draped in vines, others include cozy lofts for mediation or reflection, and many have artisan touches like macramé swings and feather chandeliers. All include private bathrooms with hot water, natural light, and a peaceful immersion of nature with outdoor spaces. Ideal for 2–4 guests, with a mix of double, single, and queen beds.
Standard Private- $2,495
Standard Private Cabins — Encino Tree House and Cabaña de Agua — are ideal for solo travelers or couples seeking a quieter, more secluded experience. Each features one queen bed, a private bathroom with hot water, and a covered outdoor lounge with a hammock for sunset views, birdwatching, or a peaceful cup of coffee. Encino sits high in the treetops, nestled down a rustic trail and over 50 steps — a true nature-immersive treehouse experience (not recommended for those with mobility issues). Cabaña de Agua, a cozy A-frame, offers jungle and volcano views and easier access. Please let us know in your application if you have any accessibility needs.
Premium Private - $2,695
Spacious geodesic domes — Aurea and Apus — are tucked into the tropical forest with breathtaking views of the volcanoes. Designed for comfort and elegance, each dome features a plush queen bed, a private indoor bathroom with hot water, and generous space to rest, stretch, or simply enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. With both indoor and outdoor lounge areas, these domes are perfect for solo travelers, couples, or close friends seeking a luxurious, nature-immersed retreat.
More like a family than a team, most Earth Lodge employees live on-site or minutes away, in the small aldea (village) of El Hato. All of the men who work the property farming, landscaping, and doing maintenance work, as well as all of the women who work in the kitchen or cleaning, live in the village along with many generations of their families. Historically the El Hato area was occupied by one large finca with centralized employee housing on-site. After the finca dispersed and parceled off the land, the area which housed the employees became today’s village of El Hato.
