Guatemala's beautiful Rio Dulce is a one-of-a-kind ecological and cultural gem. Once the 'water highway' of the ancient Mayans, this river is now an international aquatic community that hosts pleasure boats from around the world.
As we saw during our recent visit, Rio Dulce boasts some of Guatemala's most amazing natural wonders - a spectacular river canyon, countless bays, coves and lagoons and a not-to-be-missed HOT spring waterfall (in Finca El Paraiso).
Other not-to-be-missed sights include the Castle of San Felipe, the incredibly well-preserved Mayan Ruins of Quirigua, the remote beach of Playa Blanca, the Garifunan music and culture of Livingston and the country's biggest lake, Izabal Lake.
