Hacienda Tijax Hotel y Marina

Overview

The Hacienda Tijax offers a special and unique place to be in touch with nature. Since 1990 Tijax has evolved into the most unique place on the Rio Dulce and probably on the whole Izabal Region and Guatemalan Caribbean. Although the Lodge has maintained its rustic and open nature the fact that it is nestled inside a 400+ Acre (200 Hectares) spread with it`s own Nature Reserve, forestry project, miles of trails, water springs and pools make it the destination to visit while on the Rio Dulce. Centrally located from here you can embark on several day trips to other places of interest like the Rio Dulce boat trip to Livingston, the Hot Waterfall at Finca Paraiso.
