Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Very special Place,thereŽs a big Lagoon in the back you can rent a Canoe to paddle around ,loads of Birds and mozzies of course in the lagoon.
Dolphins and Turtles in the Sea (check with the Locals on Full moon nights for Turtle watching.
Nice Staff at the "Rancho Carillo" if you want to camp leave your Stuff with Them ask for "Roberto"
Definetly the best in Guatemala we been to Puerto Escondido before and its almost as good especially the big Waves are better to handle and during the week, you`ll be the only ones out there. |
