Jim´s Arco Iris, Santa Catarina Palopó, Guatemala
Arco Iris (means rainbow in spanish)
Jardines Residencia, Santa Catarina Palopó
Is located in Santa Catarina, only a couple of dollars by Tuk Tuk Taxi from Panajachel (you can also walk there). The owner is Jim (been here 40 years, originating from Los Angeles), he drives this garden, is an innovator and a book writer (Jim's Backpacker's Bible and Hostel Guide).
This place is close to the lake Atitlan (Lago de Atitlán), just south of Panajachel.
This is an experiment in some sort of permaculture and garden living.
The kitchen area is shared - best way to meet new people.
Also the showers are shared. Seems like a nice place.
