Additional Information

This tour is a combination of natural beauty and history. Get ready to have a day full of adventure, fun, and knowledge. We will visit the Castle of San Felipe and the Eco-Park of El Boquerón.

These two places have a mix of breathtaking views, history, and nature. Our first stop is not far from Río Dulce, the Castle of San Felipe. A fortress built in the 17th century by the Spanish who wanted to repel the attacks of English and Dutch pirates. Its construction was authorized by King Felipe II of Spain to prevent the theft of goods that went from Guatemala to Spain and were then marketed in that country and in the rest of Europe.

Then, we will go to the Boquerón Ecological Park. A protected area where you can walk among nature, go to any of its two viewpoints to appreciate impressive views and take a boat ride in the river between two immense stone walls.

You can bathe in the refreshing waters of the river and enjoy yourself in the middle of nature.

  • Bring all the following:
  • Mosquito repellent
  • Swimwear
  • water shoes
  • shoes with good traction
