What to do: Relax

It’s easy to relax in Santa Cruz, known around Lake Atitlan and beyond as the place to go to rest and recharge. Soak up the sun, then cool off in one of the secluded swim spots with a dip in the crystal-clear blue waters. Treat yourself to a spa day with a massage and a steam bath in a traditional Mayan sauna without ever leaving the lakeside. You’ll find yourself blissed-out in no time.
