Rio Lampara, Rio Dulce, Guatemala

El Hotelito Perdido was a small hotel located on Rio Lampara in the middle of the jungle. Rio Lampara is a small river that is connected to Rio Dulce. Hot springs, waterfalls, manatee reserves and more were all a small trip away.

The hotel consisted of many small private bungalows to sleep, but Tanja and I slept in the dorm room which consisted of 4 beds. There was a very cozy common area and kitchen to gather. The food was delicious and vegetarian because they did not have a refrigeration system.

We decided to be a little more adventurous and take a kayak trip to the Lampara Waterfall. From the map you can see where the hotel is in comparison to the waterfall. It was a good 2 hour kayak trip just to get to the waterfall, about a 30 minute walk (when you don't get lost) just to get there. 

We loved the adventure, minus the fact that we both ended up lost and bare-foot in the jungle. The thick mud broke both of our shoes within the first 20 minutes. The waterfall and natural pools were very relaxing, and we had them to ourselves.
