Guatemala: Exploring the Watery World of Rio Dulce
Guatemala: Exploring the watery world of Rio Dulce
After Honduras, we splurged on a private shuttle to get over to Rio Dulce, Guatemala. This little city is popular for the cool freshwater river and hostels and hotels in the mangroves. Everyone pretty much gets around on boats and we stayed at the wonderful and helpful Kangaroo Hostel and Mexicana restaurant. Food was great, accommodations were fine, if a bit rustic, and the dogs were sweet as pie. They were also very helpful in providing ideas for activities and helping us line things up. We borrowed some kayaks to paddle over to a tiny little castle that was used to defend against pirates back in the day and the next day we took a private boat tour out to Livingston on the Caribbean coast and stopped to explore some sacred mayan caves and soak in the hotsprings after exploring some bird islands. All in all a great first couple days. Stay tuned for our next vid in which we visit a hotsprings waterfall and fight our way up a gorgeous slot canyon.

Rio Dulce Guatemala | Jewel of the Guatemalan Caribbean | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids
Welcome to the wonderful Rio Dulce, an extraordinary river in Guatemala!
Did you know that the movie “The New Adventures of Tarzan” was entirely filmed here in 1935? The beautiful rainforest you see in the movie is hidden in Guatemala and still well-preserved. To get a good shot of the forest they had to use some locations using the railroad service in Guatemala.
It is a spectacular place rich with flora and fauna, great views, folklore, beaches, and traditional locals. Being so breath-taking, many people call it the jewel of the Guatemalan Caribbean. A great place where you can spend the most peaceful time with the family.
Being a part of a lake and river system known as the department of Izabal, it is a great sailboat cruising destination. Rio Dulce flows out of the Lake Izabal and is soon spanned by one of the biggest bridges in Central America.
On one side of the bridge is the town El Relleno and a nearby orphanage Casa Guatemala that provides children with education and nourishment. On the other side is the town of Fronteras. It is considered to be the center of Rio Dulce, sometimes called by the same name, and many people arrive by canoes to visit the town because it contains a local vegetable market.

Guatemala (Beautiful) Rio Dulce Part 5
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Guatemala,Rio Dulce:
The area called the Rio Dulce begins at the mouth of the river on the Bahia de Amatique at the Garifuna town of Livingston on the Caribbean coast. Going upriver, one passes through a spectacular steep walled canyon lined with jungle vegetation and wildlife. The river then widens into a small lake, El Golfete, the shores of which are lined with beautiful locations, Mayan settlements and a manatee reserve. The river then narrows and passes the towns of Fronteras and El Relleno (at the bridge) where there is an abundance of hotels, restaurants, marinas, services for boaters, medical care, communications and transportation.
A little further and the river widens into 590 square kilometer Lake Izabal, the largest lake in Guatemala.The Rio Dulce is a large river that is 500 to 1500 meters (1/3 to 1 mile) wide over much of its length. The narrowest spot is at a point called La Vaca where the river narrows to a little over 100 meters (300 feet) as it squeezes through The Canyon. The river and both lakes are navigable by vessels of modest draft. Many smaller rivers and countless creeks and streams feed the river and lakes. Many of these rivers can be traveled for miles by dinghy or canoe through beautiful forests and grassy meadows. The Rio Dulce is an aquatic community. The highway passing through Fronteras / El Relleno on its way up to the Peten is the only access road to the area. Outside the towns there are no roads or footpaths other than a road leading to Castile San Felipe and El Estor.
The get around to different places on the Rio one must travel by boat. Homes and businesses on the Rio Dulce have a boat dock ...cruisers usually have a dinghy with a small outboard so getting around is easy. Travelers arriving by land will have to hire a speedboat (lancha) to get around. The people along the Rio Dulce are among the friendliest. The Rio Dulce is a favorite vacation spot for many wealthy Guatis. Emphasis is on boating and water sports. Backpackers and travelers from all parts of the world use Rio Dulce as a jumping-off point for trips into the Peten, the rest of Guatemala, and to Belize and Honduras.

Breathtaking Rio Dulce & Livingston - ADVENTURE Time In Guatemala
Kayaking beautiful Rio Dulce and we LOSE THE PADDLE! The easy kayaking experience got a bit hairy and we weren't sure if we were going to make it.
We were staying in an amazing riverside jungle lodge in Rio Dulce, Guatemala called Casa Perico, run by a Swiss guy so you know everything will be well organized.
We spent 5 days here, lounging around, swimming, kayaking and relaxing. This place felt really tranquil and got us relaxed in no time.
We really enjoyed the kayaking in the mangroves on the side rivers of the Rio Dulce and seeing the wildlife there. If you visit Guatemala, you should definetely come to Rio Dulce.
After a wild boat ride, we also went to Livingston, home to the Garifuna people. Their ancestry goes back to Africa. It is a super relaxed beachside town right on the Carribean coast.
It was a really cool experience seeing the local culture and customs there. They really know how to party and the disco on the beach had the fiesta going!

Los Siete Altares Livingston Guatemala
About 5km (1½ hour walk) northwest of Lívingston along the shore of Bahía de Amatique, Los Siete Altares is a series of freshwater falls and pools. It's a pleasant goal for a beach walk and is a good place for a picnic and swim. Follow the shore northward to the river mouth and walk along the beach until it meets the path into the woods (about 30 minutes). Follow this path all the way to the falls. Boat trips go to Los Siete Altares, but if you're a walker it's better to go by foot to experience the natural beauty and the Garifuna people along the way. About halfway along, just past the rope bridge is Hotel Salvador Gaviota , serving decent food and ice-cold beers and soft drinks. You can stay out here, too.
