Finca al Paraiso

On our last day of vacation we stayed at a place called Finca al Pariaso on Lake Izabal, the largest lake in Guatemala. We were not too impressed. It certainly didn't seem like Paradise Farm to us.


We rented two bungalows for the night. They were not very clean and somewhat run-down, but they did have comfortable hammocks on the front porches. Charlie and Tony are relaxing in one.


Tony and Maria had fun playing on the black sand beach. They found lots of shells and pretty rocks.


View of the beach from the end of the dock. The thatched roof building is the restaurant. It was very pretty, but unfortunately the food was not as good as the view.


Sunset on the lake.



While at the Finca we visited a nearby hot spring waterfall. Very hot water gushes from an underground spring and pours into this cold water creek. We had the pleasure of swimming in this wonderfully enchanting place. It was one of the hightlights of our trip!
