flowersinlondon Says: You can take a cabin cruiser from Rio Dulce and do it as a lovely overnight trip. The couple who run this are so lovely and the cruiser is called Nemo. They started this about 3 months ago and they are so good at it. Freddie, a Livingstonian, drives the boat and Inga, his...
chrisvandenbroucke Says: Lago Izabal looks to be a luxurious resort for rich natives and Americans. The luxury yachts around the lago - not for our budget -were proof of this
chrisvandenbroucke Says: The boat went through the mangrove trees. There we had a nice view on the jungle.
chrisvandenbroucke Says: We only took a 3hr trip on the lake and maybe that wasn't enough.The boat takes local passengers too and took off to Livingstone where there was a short stop.We came back to the Biotope of the Manatees (some kind of big sea cows) but didn't see any.The next stop was at Agua...

Casa Perico (Hotel and Restaurant): By the lake ... through a river ... awesome !!
rafgys Says: Very few hostels can be as nice as this one! You need to take their motor-boat to get there... some cabanas deep into a river by the lake, with their own dock ... their bar/restaurant ... they give their hosts kayaks for free .The dorms are Q$ 40 per bed.
kate.uk Says: I loved staying here!! It's only accesable by river to get there get a boat from either Livingstone or Rio Dulce. it's fairly basic cabins set in the jungle with tropical plants and animals all around. I'll never forget the time I was sat on the loo and a hummingbird flew...

Sundog Cafe: The Bakery without white Bread
Attila333 Says: Think the Title says it all. The sandwich wasn't bad. Decent Portion size. The Wheat bread is really a Whole Wheat with whole grains. So if you aren't into crunchies in your bread go with White. Maybe they will have it that day ....... Don't think I will try to get a...

Backpackers Hotel: The bar at Backpackers Hotel
VinTolucci Says: The backpacker bar is located just beneath the bridge that crosses the Rio Dulce. It is the one local spot which tourists may find friendly and safer. It is a happening place twice a week and most come to dance.
