 hansoor Says:  Livingston is a cool town. You can only get there by boot or plane. Take the boot from Rio Dulce, this is a fanstatic trip over lake El Golfete and tru a beautiful gorge. Livingston is a relaxing place, everything goes slow. Take your time as well. In the evening there is an...

Case De La Iguana: The only hostel in Livingston

Case De La Iguana: The only hostel in Livingston, Lívingston

 zosienka Says:  Case de la Iguana is relatively new in town. It's clean, and the dorm beds are comfy and cheap. I didn't check the private cabanas but I'm sure they're nice as well. The place has a bar and breakfast in the morning as well as a set dinner in the evenings, a book exchange,... 

African Palace: A very surreal place!

 realde14 Says:  This hotel seems to be a mix between a castle and a mosque, strangely out of place and completely surreal.The rooms are big and clean, good restaurant. Highly recommended 

Restaurants  

Best Rice and Beans

Best Rice and Beans, Lívingston

 dkolle Says:  I always try to find the best cheapest, local hole in the wall restaurants in each village/town I travel to. Well I definitely found one in Livingston. Actually, there will be a very dark guy with dreads standing in the street next to the basketball courts as soon as you... 

Rice and beans

Rice and beans, Lívingston

 madmu Says:  You'll find a few "comedores", small cheap restaurants, in Lívingston - go to the ones at the basketball field! Don't be fooled by the fitting up (plastic chairs, a fridge and a kitchenette), just order the Rice and beens. For under 2 dollars you could get a dish simply... 

Nightlife  

The Cocobongo bar!

The Cocobongo bar!, Lívingston

 madmu Says:  The place to be in Lívingston by night is at the Cocobongo bar, just by the beach. When there is enough tourists the local band (consisting of different people nearly every night) will play Punta music, which is unforgetable. They will expect some tip for the effort. NO... 

Transportation  

Onward travel

Onward travel, Lívingston

 realde14 Says:  To only way basically to get to Livingston is by water. You can either get the ferry from Puerto Barrios or ask around if somebody might be travelling on a motorboat either to/from Omoa, Honduras, or Belize. 

The only way to Lívingston

The only way to Lívingston, Lívingston

 madmu Says:  The only way to reach Lívingston is by boat, really. The ferry leaves Puerto Barrios at 10:00 am and 5:00 pm, and they return from Lívingston at 5:00 am and 2:00 pm. The cost is 10 Q. At any other time you could still take the lanchas, speedboats, that leave both Puerto... 

Shopping  

Home-made coconut bread

Home-made coconut bread, Lívingston

 madmu Says:   No one should be allowed to leave Lívingston without tasting the coconut bread (nor the special dishes Tapado and Coco Casabe). The best ones are sold near the dock on the main street, in a little shop. Otherwise, buy it from the women sitting on the side-walk with their... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

The risky beach

The risky beach, Lívingston

 madmu Says:  Lately, there have many robberies on the beach just outside central Lívingston. Although a walk by the seashore here is absolutely wonderful, you should at least leave everything of value at home. To reach the amazing Siete Altares, which is the desire of most tourists, you...
