A regenerative eco-village

The land

WuWei Village is nestled in the lush landscapes of Tzununá, on the northern shore of Lake Atitlán. Our land is a thriving ecosystem, nourished by a year-round flowing river that provides naturally filtered drinking water. The fertile volcanic soil supports abundant food forests, permaculture gardens, and native trees.

In addition, a communal lawn serves as a gathering space for connection and celebration.Three beautifully crafted houses already stand, with more on the way, integrating natural building techniques that honor the land. WuWei is a place of regeneration, where sustainable living and ecological abundance flourish in harmony.

Tzununá, Guatemala

Tzununá is a tranquil lakeside village rooted in Indigenous Kaqchikel culture. Unlike more touristic towns around Lake Atitlán, it maintains a quiet authenticity. Locals grow maize, coffee, and medicinal plants, while international artists, healers, and permaculturists are drawn to its peaceful vibe and deep connection to nature.
