Livingston Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We stayed at Posada El Delfin- great place. Owners are wonderful! They organized a group of Garifunas to play some Garifuna songs for us during a dinner they provided for us!

After a 5 hour bus ride through gorgeous changing country side of corn fields surrounded by palm trees we finally arrived at the Rio Dulce where we took a boat to our island hotel and jumped straight into the pool. This place was gorgeous with river side chalets over hanging the river and a various yachts moored along side. The day seamed to fly...

Rio Dulce is a river and a town and when we arrived we got a quick boat to an ecolodge. It was a very relaxed hostel so we did a lot of relaxing in hammocks and a little kayaking. The next day we went an hour up river into a lake and went for a swim in a cold pool that had a hot waterfall flowing into it. It was incredible - like having a very p...

I arrived in Rio Dulce at around 10pm after the worst journey in the world ever. I was completely shattered by the time >I got there and I didn´t really need to be dropped off on the wrong side of the mile long bridge to my intended hostel.

This came as both a relief and hindr...

Temps are probably in the low 30's with very high humidity. We started with making more rebar but only until for about a half hour until our delivery t...

Sorry I have had so few blogs lately. I have 2 trips to share with you and lots of great pictures. It has been really nice to relax this weekend and get recharged. Traveling 2 weekends in a row was very tiring, but I enjoyed every minute. Earlier this week I hit my first real wave of homesickness. Everything piled down on me and my frustration a...

Luckily, we only had one night to spend at Hotel Backpackers in Rio Dulce. They pumped reggaeton at ear-splitting volume until very late in the morning, but somehow we managed to get some sleep. Sunday, we got up and walked over the lake on the hottest bridge in Guatemala (I have no research to support that claim). We bought our tickets for the ...
