Lago Izabal, Río Dulce, Livingston: GUATEMALA

Arrived to another beautiful lake and of course more heat. We stayed in a hostel accesible only by lancha(boat). We were a little secluded from society but it was beautiful, filled with amenitites and swampy... In a good way. We visited Livingston, a local Garifuna town, Ate some seafood and saw many gringo yachties who come to find a safe harbor from the rough seas. Unfortunately none of them invited us to pop some bubbly with them aboard their yachts. Where's the love??

Homes located on the lake, river, swamp are only accesible by lancha.

Livingston, the people here were brought by a slave ship, when that ship crashed the people escaped to places and built their own communities.

Garifuna walking down the street.

Their music is called punta, and its all about the rythym of the drums.

This was the hostel, located in a swamp.

More homes along lake/ river.

As we took a lancha back to catch a bus out we saw this bridge, which makes accessing this region overland possible.
