Hi Alex! Where in Rio Dulce did you catch the collectivo? Was it near the docks? I’m planning to do a similar day trip while I’m in Guatemala.

In reply to Jay D. Hey Jay! Considering the length of the journey, I probably wouldn't head to Belize for just two days from East Guatemala... but I don't really like to go almost anywhere for just two days, ha ha. Where in Southern Belize are you considering?

In Livingston we stayed at Flamingo, $20 per night, pool with fake waterfall, AC was very useful a night. Happy fish was excellent an cheap. There is a boat that will take you north Q80, is this the boat you took south? Is southern Belize worth going for 2 days?

In reply to Lisa. Hey Lisa! Good choice, in my opinion :) That shot was taken from a restaurant we stopped at on our boat trip up the Rio Dulce, but it actually is fairly reminiscent of Kangaroo Hostel! I think you'll love it!

Great read and you’ve convinced me to do Rio Dulce instead of Semuc Champey (I only have time for one sadly)!

Random question – where was the photo taken where you are looking out to the river through the a-frame thatched roof? Is that Kangaroo hostel? Just looking into accommodation at the mo and if I can wake up to that view every day then I’d be a happy camper/hostel goer.

Thanks in advance.
