After Tikal we went down to Rio Dulce in the south east of Guatemala. We stayed at a very nice jungle eco lodge (again) although this one was really cool because you could only get to it by boat, as it was down a pretty little waterway coming off the main river. The cabins were all connected by boardwalks over the water.
On our first day we met a few other people from the hostel and we all went to the Finca Paraiso, which is a really beautiful spot in the jungle where a hot thermal waterfall flows into a cold lagoon. It´s so surreal standing in the forest having a hot shower, with your feet in a cold river. Was really gorgeous. Only problem was that the little fish kept trying to eat Jenny because her back was peeling from the sunburn!
The day after we took a trip along the river to Livingston. It was a very picturesque trip because the jungle rises in huge cliffs on either side of the river. It´s very Lord of the Rings. We stopped at a cute little place along the way where the water is covered in lily pads, and there are green parrots in the trees.
