Escuela Caracol is a Waldorf school on the shores of Lake Atitlán with an inspiring view of three volcanoes. San Marcos la Laguan is a small pueblo of about 3.000 people located in the western highlands of Guatemala – a region predominantly inhabited by indigenous Maya for thousands of years. Escuela Caracol seeks to offer a solution to the dilemma of education for both indigenous and international families around Lake Atitlán. Our holistic mode of learning promotes the development of well-rounded and freethinking individuals who possess creative capacities useful in all realms of life.
