About Retalhuleu
Known locally as 'Reu', Retalhuleu is a Pacific lowland city that's home to Central America's best theme parks. IRTRA's Xocomil is a massive waterpark and Xetulul is a theme park with rides and replicas of world architecture. The nearby archaeological site of Takalik Abaj bridges the Olmec and Maya civilizations, one of the few places where both cultures' artifacts coexist. It's a family-friendly destination that most tourists overlook.
