Santa Cruz La Laguna Village, Lake Atitlan

Santa Cruz La Laguna, on the north shore of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala’s Sololá department, is built on a steep mountainside above the lakeshore. The village is reached primarily by boat and footpaths, with a winding route climbing from the dock and a rough road linking the community to Sololá for the transport of building materials, furniture, and limited vehicle traffic. The settlement includes the CECAP campus, a local training and community development center visible on the hillside.
