The Department of Izabal is home to the beautiful Lake Izabal, the famous Rio Dulce river and the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, where pirates and Galleons fought for the supremacy in colonial times. Today the region is home to over 350 bird species and countless other species of flora and fauna such as Howler monkeys, Dolphins and Manatee, and to the Garifuna people of West African descent that inhabited the region 200 years ago.

RIO DULCE'S SPLENDOR
Magnificent among the Caribbean nations, the department of Izabal is bathed in sun, color, the exotic magic of the Caribbean Sea and the sensual rhythm of Afro Caribbean music. In this tropical paradise, reggae music calls to frantic dancing, the sea breeze gently rocks the palm trees and rain forests, the smell of salt and beach kiss the sun-tanned skin, and the combination of rivers, waterfalls, lakes, caves, canyons, lagoons and the Caribbean Sea, simply make for a experience unlike any other.
