Can't say enough good things about the staff or location. It was 80Q for a 4 bed dorm. The tours were great and competitively priced. The staff do not speak much english but try hard. The location is unbeatable as it is a minute's walk to Semuc and two minutes to the Lanquin Caves. You just can't beat it!

We arrived late; at around 10:00, but the ride in was worth the late hour. We got to look up at a sky free of light pollution and saw many stars. The room at El portal is the top of the cabana …

The best way to travel in Guatemala is via shuttle bus. The prices are fair and they have a pretty good network to get you from one stikin' corner of the country to the next. In case you didn't know, Guatemala is pretty good and the points of interest are pretty spread apart! So...we took the shuttle from San Pedro all the way to Lanquin. In total …
