About the host

I’m Julio, originally from Guatemala. I love creating stays that feel warm, easy, and thoughtfully prepared. I enjoy good design, great neighborhoods, and helping guests experience the places around them. At Casa Verapaz, we respect your privacy while being available if you need recommendations or help during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We chose Santa Catarina Palopó because it is a beautiful Kaqchikel Maya village where local culture and everyday community life remain an important part of the experience. We love its colorful streets, peaceful lakeside setting, and extraordinary views of Lake Atitlán and the volcanoes.
It also offers a wonderful balance: Casa Verapaz feels removed from it all, while Panajachel is only about 10–15 minutes away by car.
What makes this property unique
Casa Verapaz combines private apartment-style living with nearly 5,000 m² of gardens, beautiful lake and volcano views, and shared amenities including a pool, jacuzzi, and natural lake access.
Each residence is completely private, while the larger property gives guests space to relax and enjoy Lake Atitlán. We are also just a short walk from the center of Santa Catarina Palopó and about 10–15 minutes by car from Panajachel.
