A less-visited area of Guatemala on the Caribbean Coast
Explore the interesting Caribbean region in eastern Guatemala, where steamy tropical floodplains adorned with banana plantations unfold.
Nestled amidst this lush landscape lies Lake Izabal, it's cool, clear waters offering a refreshing retreat. Follow the meandering path of the Rio Dulce as it winds through dense rainforest, revealing a glimpse of Afro-Caribbean culture in the genial settlement of Livingston.
Discover the majestic Castillo de San Felipe, rising like a fortress from the lake's mouth, a testament to the region's colonial history and its strategic defence against pirates. This lesser-explored corner of Guatemala promises a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and historical intrigue.
