A travel influencer wowed TikTokers after sharing a day-in-the-life video while staying at an eco-lodge in Guatemala.
New York-based traveler Felisa (@nyctravelgal) visited Eagles Nest in San Marcos, Guatemala, an ecological resort that offers locally sourced meals, yoga classes, and eco-friendly lodging. Situated above Lake Atitlan, the resort has sweeping views of the volcano and lush greenery below.
@nyctravelgal Bucketlist places you probably haven't heard of… 📍Eagles Nest in San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala [SAVE for planning] An eco-lodge yoga retreat that includes: 🍃 3 meals (veg but there are some meat options as well) 🧘🏻♀️ Yoga 2x a day on the platform overlooking the most epic view of the lake and volcanoes 🎭 Events & activities to try out like meditation magnet, breath work, acro yoga etc! 🚿 Incredible outdoor shower (yes there's hot water! But go early so it doesn't run out…) 💃🏻 We loved Fridays community night with lots of music and dancing! 🎒 Tuktuks can only take you up to a certain point then there's about a 10min walk so definitely bring a backpack over a rolly luggage! #traveltips #hostellife #yogaretreat #ecolodge #traveltiktok ♬ dance the night away sped - ⭐️
Eco-lodges are environmentally conscious accommodations designed to have a minimal impact on the surrounding region. These types of hotels are often located in remote areas and have distinct sustainable features. These features include low-impact construction, high energy efficiency, homegrown food, robust recycling programs, efficient water waste management systems, and no single-use plastics.
When you factor in fuel consumption and energy usage, traveling has a significant impact on the environment. Air travel especially releases high amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, which exacerbates rising global temperatures linked to more intense extreme weather.
Felisa's video highlights the beauty of an eco-lodge and raises climate awareness about environmentally friendly accommodations. By choosing eco-conscious lodging like her, you can help minimize your environmental impact without compromising your travel experience.
Felisa tells TikTokers Eagles Nest is one of the "bucket list places you probably haven't heard of" but is worth experiencing. Along with yoga classes and delicious, mouthwatering meals, the eco-lodge provides guests with live music, dancing, meditation classes, and a beautiful outdoor shower overlooking the volcano.
TikTokers were in awe of the breathtaking landscapes and diverse amenities at the lodge.
"This looks like my absolute perfect day," one user wrote.
"Wow!!" another TikToker commented.
"It's such a unique experience," Felisa responded.
