After clearing in at the town of Livingston, at the mouth of the Rio Dulce , we made our way up the River. It was a misty rainy day, which made the canyon look impressive with clouds hanging above the limestone cliffs and lush green trees that fall to the river. Fresh water; the boat already feels clean.
As you move up the river you pass by native huts made of thatch with the odd store along the rivers edge.
There are men out on the river casting their nets for fish. It’s so tranquil. We feel like we have gone back in time.
We stopped to anchorĀ in Texan bay the first bay after entering Lake Golfete, which has a small Marina with a nice restaurant and ended up staying for a week as the people here were so friendly and it was a perfect place to hang out and work on our project list, including getting some work done.
Every day in Texan Bay, we had local Quq’chi Indian women and children come by the boat in their canoes selling hand made woven baskets, fruit and vege. They live in the mountains close by.
After making our way further up the Rio thru Lake Golfete we arrived at Nana Juana the Marina we had chosen near the town of Fronteras for hurricane season. There are a great group of people here and our berth is good so we are pretty happy.
Looks like it will be a great place to hang for the season.
