Colorful Colibri Suite

Enjoy the peace & quiet of mountain living in Tzununa, away from the hustle and bustle. This colorfully-decorated Colibri room features a matrimonial bed and bunk beds, perfect for a family or group of friends. It's our most spacious room, with an outdoor deck and hammocks, great for relaxing and taking in the view, and it comes with a private bathroom. It's conveniently located near different villages to explore & a 15 min walk to the lake, yet far enough away for you to rest and rejuvenate.

The Space
The Colibri room is located at Casa Awänímä, a communal living property and eco-lodge designed to inspire peace and a deeper connection to nature. This room is a beautiful space in a brand-new building, created with natural materials like light-clay-straw walls and Guatemalan-harvested teak floors. The earthen walls maintain the perfect indoor temperature, and the natural plaster gives it a cozy, earthy feel.

This room has a queen-size bed, daybed for lounging or sleeping an extra guest, a large closet and big drawers to store your things, and a private bathroom with a sink and toilet. The best part is the spacious outdoor deck where you can relax in a hammock, work at the desk, and enjoy the clean air and fresh lake breeze. From the deck you have a breathtaking view of the valley, lake, and volcanoes, and the big open sky that's always a wonder to watch.

The building has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly decorated with handmade textiles and artisan goods, creating the perfect balance between a natural feel and comfortable luxury.

Just steps outside your door is a fully-equipped communal kitchen (always stocked with fresh eggs from our chickens), and 2 open-air showers with hot water and great pressure.

When you book with us, you'll have access to the outdoor yoga deck (covered in passion fruit!), earthen temezcal and river-fed cold plunge, and lounge areas around the property to read a book or drink your coffee. We can also help you to arrange a massage on the property for extra relaxation!

THE LAND
If you dream of having a homestead or permaculture farm someday, this place will give you a lot of inspiration!

The gardens were all designed according to permaculture principles, built “on-contour” meaning they follow the curves of the mountain to maximize water distribution and penetration into the soil. We used rocks from the land to build the terraces. Everything has been made by hand.

Our gardens are fully organic, meaning they have never seen a chemical fertilizer or pesticide. We make our own compost here with the help of chickens and food scraps, which then goes into the garden bed to add nutrition.

In the gardens you’ll find many perennial foods, like gandul (pigeon pea), malanga (taro root), maracuya (passion fruit), citrus, mora (mulberry), avocado, and fig.

Guests love harvesting fresh herbs for teas and cooking. Our many herbs to choose from include lemongrass, tarragon, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, chamomile, wormwood, comfrey, geranium, yarrow, horsetail, rue, lemon verbena, mint, lavender, plantain, epazote, and more.

You’ll also find many flowers which we love to plant for beauty and also to attract pollinators like hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

As land stewards, it is important to us to create as much biodiversity as possible, grow medicine in the form of herbs and fresh, healthy food that will nourish our bodies, and create habitats for insects and birds. We are blessed to have a lot of water in Tzununa, and it’s our responsibility and honor to maximize the water to create abundance and fertility on the land.

ABOUT TZUNUNA:
Tzununa is a quiet town with not that much to do, and we like it that way. It creates an atmosphere of tranquility and small-town vibes.

The property is a 5-minute walk from Love Probiotics (Friday night pizza!), Gaia Dance Temple (Sunday ecstatic dance), and Karuna, which offers kirtan on Sundays. Another 5 minute walk uphill, you'll find many trails in the mountain to enjoy the trees, rivers, and waterfalls. The lake is a 15 minute walk downhill or a 5-minute Tuk Tuk ride, and you can access all the other villages via walking, tuk tuk or boat.

San Marcos is a popular town for travelers, and it's a close tuk-tuk ride away, where you'll find tons of restaurants, shops, and activities. Close enough if you want it, and far enough away for you to escape the buzz of a busy town.

If you'd like to come with a large group of friends or family, check out our other listings, and book together!

Guest Access
Guests will have access to the communal spaces which include a yoga deck, cold plunge, earthen sauna, grass areas, garden space, fire pit, and lounge chairs. The sauna can be lit upon request for an additional fee.

Guests are also free to enjoy our new communal dining space!

Other Things to Note
We have Starlink wifi available for guests to use. It is strong and reliable, so it's good for people with remote work.

This room is one of three rooms located side by side in the building, so be aware that you may be seeing other guests around in the communal areas like the kitchen, or on the deck. The walls are built with light clay straw and very well insulated from sound between rooms.

Laundry is available on-site for an additional fee.

The temazcal (sauna) can be fired up upon request for an extra fee, which includes an herbal jar for steaming and bathing.
