At Castillo San Felipe, we wandered through the old fort, which was originally built by the spanish as a guard post to protect against pirates in the 16th century. It served for a short while as a prison as well. Now it is a great little park area for tourists and locals to enjoy a sunny day!
Lago Izabal is a huge lake, and is the livelihood of so many - fishermen, waterside tiendas, and, of course, the tourism industry.
A trip to Finca Paraiso brought us to a beautiful hot springs water fall which mixed with the cool river waters flowing into the little lagoon. Truly a spectacular place, and we had it all to ourselves!
