The\u00a0Dulce River<\/strong>\u00a0is located in the department of Izabal, between Lake Izabal and Amatique Bay. About 43 kilometers long, the Dulce River is\u00a0the gateway to the Caribbean Sea<\/strong>.<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The canyon at the mouth of the river on the bay offers a scenic beauty unique for its vegetation, and for being a\u00a0refuge for various native and migratory birds<\/strong>. To travel the 16 kilometers between the \u201cGolfete<\/strong>\u201d (small gulf) and the ocean, the waters of the river enter through an\u00a0enormous canyon<\/strong>\u00a0that separates the mountains where high walls of limestone rock with lush vegetation make the journey an adventure. This river has a depth of 30 to 50 meters, and a width of approximately 200 meters. During the tour, you will get to see cays and islets of different sizes.<\/p>\n

The Dulce River is located within the \u201cR\u00edo Dulce National Park<\/strong>,\u201d area that\u00a0protects the Guatemalan ecosystem since 1955<\/strong>, containing a great diversity of fauna, among which are manatees and crocodiles.<\/p>\n

For the visit, it is recommended to use the water transportation services available in the docks of Fronteras, El Relleno and Livingston. In the area, there is a diversity of accommodations, food services, and community tourism, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
