Traveling up the Rio Dulce

On the way there is a limestone cliff that previous sailors have written their boat names and dates when they sailed by it. It is a busy river with numerous watercrafts plying the waters. Every thing from tour boats to pangas cruise up and down the river. The trip takes most of the day to get to the lake, which are ringed with cloud-covered mountains. Once there we took a few days to find a marina to dock the boat. All of the marinas have a flare to them with different amenities. Mar Marina was the one we chose it had security guards at night the dockage was well spaced, laundry, showers, cable television, a restaurant and a marine hard ware store. The marina is situated on the opposite other side of the lake from the town with a bridge spanning it. Walking there does not take long and the view from the top is great. The town’s main street is also the highway and crossing it is tricky. You have to dodge street vendors, transports, gauchos, buses and tourists.
