“My best friend and I had the most incredible and tranquil experience at Kawoq Forest. The location is beautiful. We stayed in Cielo, which was beautiful and had a big balcony we enjoyed. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I especially connected with Carlos and Elena. I highly recommend attending ceremonies and wellness treatments with them. Their yoga classes were also my favorite. Their energy is so positive and kind.

The food was the best vegetarian food I have had. Thank you to the wonderful ladies that prepared it daily. I also loved that there were different herbal teas to drink daily. Thank you to the entire Kawoq Forest team and I hope to visit again.”

“After a difficult year, I wanted to end 2022 in a peaceful, reflective space. The Kawoq Forest surpassed my wildest dreams. The setting is unbelievable; pictures don’t do it justice. The classes and other offerings are excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home.

As a solo traveler, I wasn’t sure if I’d find my group. That worry went away immediately. I forged connections I will treasure forever. I hope to return to The Kawoq Forest every year. It’s a magical, spiritual place that attracts the best of humanity. Don’t think twice. Go. Your soul will thank you.”

“This was such an incredible retreat, from the yoga to the facilities to staff to food and beyond. The space felt relaxing, spiritual, natural, welcoming and inspiring. Twice daily yoga, meditation, twice daily remarkable meals, and additional services available if you choose. The space itself is dropped into the forest, and allows you to step away from the world for a bit.

Not only would I highly recommend this to anyone, I plan on returning. A truly special place that exceeded all expectations.”

“The Kawoq Forest was incredibly relaxing and a wonderful conclusion to my time in Guatemala. The facilities at the Kawoq Forest were top-notch. I was very impressed with the bungalow that was both rustic in appearance and had all the trappings of a modern hotel room. The toilets and showers were all 3-wall designed that allowed for complete privacy and a view over the mountainside as you did your hygiene; the views were surreal. Both yoga studios also had picturesque views over the mountains which added to the incredibly relaxing environment.

The facilities were rivaled by the food. I am a solid 200 lbs. non-vegetarian and I left every meal full and ready to take on the day. The vegetarian cuisine was fresh, plentiful and carried many authentic Guatemalan flavors. The staff was beyond kind and generous.

I could not recommend this place more to people looking for an introspective yoga adventure. My only regret was not looking into the suite of other offerings and booking before I arrived. I will be sure to book a massage or ceremony next time!”
