VISIT THE RIO DULCE - Guatemala (2023 Travel Guide in 4K )

Join us as we travel through Central America. This time we dive into the "sweet river", aka fresh water, here in the Rio Dulce, Guatemala. A wonderful, tropical getaway for water enthusiasts; life here is lived on and around the water! Famous as a haven safe from annual hurricanes, sailors gather here June to December. It is also a great stop along the way if you are heading to the ancient ruins of Tikal in the north of the country. We check out the largest bridge in Guatemala, a 16th century fortress and castle that had several run-ins with pirates, a tranquil lake with manatees and shy crocodiles and some really good food and cold drinks on the many dock restaurants. We'll talk about accommodations and how to get here as well. 0:00 Pearl gazes at San Felipe 0:20 Great Vacation Destination 0:30 Where is The Rio Dulce? 1:11 Getting Around & Getting To Know 2:20 Castillo San Felipe de Lara 3:05 Finca El Paraiso on Lake Izabal 3:44 Pirates?
