Rio Dulce-Agua Caliente

IMG_1735
On the road again, this time from Tikal to RioDulce, with a brief stop in Flores for a propane refill. After a fairly long drive, we decided to drive right through Rio Dulce to check out Agua Caliente, which is a waterfall about 90 minutes down a bumpy dirty road. This particular waterfall is significant because, as the name suggests, hot water flows from the top down into the cool pools underneath.

The result is a bit of steam, a small entry fee, and three begging children that love stickers almost as much as we do.

Stayed at Hacienda Tijax, after failing to find camping. This place actually advertised camping on a posted sign and in the guidebook, but would not deliver. So we stayed in one of their tiny, reasonably cheap cabanas.

It was jungly and pretty, but with nothing else to do, we just shared beers and stories with some folks from Missouri and cut out early the next morning for Coban.
