Finca Tatin
From Rich in the Americas! in Tatin, Guatemala on Apr 03 '06
This entry is about:
Nice boat ride down the Rio Dulce. Most of it is in a canyon and the scenery is great. Finca Tatin is on a tributary river and not many boats go past so it's pretty secluded and ideal for just chilling out. Which is what I did.
Spent the first day just reading books in a hammock and going for short walks in the jungle. The next day I hired a canoe and went paddling to El Golfete and the Bio-reserve. Really nice and I can't recommend it enough! Spent the day just paddling around tiny little jungle rivers and exploring. Got a bit lost but nothing too bad. Hard work after a few weeks of not really doing much.

Things were pretty quiet in the Finca. Not many people staying there when I first arrived but it picked up after 2 days. Really nice food, enough to do if you didn't want to swing in a hammock, and hammocks to swing in if you were too lazy to do anything else.
Some volunteers from a nearby NGO came over for dinner 1 day (they'd had enough of beans, rice and tortillas) and they were really nice. Had a couple of good nights there at the end of my stay.
Had to hitch a lift from a boat to get to Rio Dulce to catch a bus as the boat we'd arranged to collect us didn't appear. Took us about 1 hour to get a boat, don't think I'm cut out for hitching!
