About Río Dulce
Río Dulce is both a town and a spectacular river that connects Lake Izabal to the Caribbean Sea at Livingston. The river cuts through a dramatic limestone canyon draped in tropical jungle. Along the way you'll find hot spring waterfalls flowing into the cool river, the historic Castillo de San Felipe fortress, and mangrove-lined channels. The town of Río Dulce (Fronteras) is a hub for sailing boats and serves as a pit stop on the route between Guatemala City and Livingston.
