About Us
The people behind the movement.
Granja Tz'ikin
A rustic farm on the shores of Lake Atitlán.
What started as a small permaculture experiment in 2009 has become a functioning farm, a restaurant, a guesthouse, a design company, an NGO, and a training program. Fifteen years of asking one question: what happens if we go to the root?
