A Rich Legacy of Lago Atitlán
Lago Atitlán is steeped in history and culture, known for its deep, crystalline waters and the volcanic giants that rise majestically around it.

The vibrant Mayan communities that dot its shores add a rich tapestry of culture, with traditions that have been preserved through generations.
Against this stunning and storied setting, Casita Piegatto finds its home—a place where past and present converge.
