The community of Lagunita, nestled on the Río Dulce in El Salvador, is a pleasant sanctuary from the bustle of Guatemala's larger cities. Only half an hour from Livingston and Rio Dulce, you'll feel a world away whether you come for a meal, a tour, or to stay a few days.
Ak'Tenamit is an indigenous community development
organization that
promotes long-term solutions to poverty through education, health,
income generation and cultural programs run by and for the Q’eqchi.
The Ak'Tenamit community consists of two sites, one of which welcomes tour
groups and individual travelers. It has a walking trail, an arts and
crafts store, and a restaurant.
