Rio Sarstun

Río Sarstun is a nationally protected area and also a river which serves as the border between Guatemala and Belize.  Managed by FUNDAECO, an environmental NGO, the river is home to a number of local families, a host of exotic species, and a visitor’s center where guests can stay overnight in order to fully explore the area and take in the beautiful surroundings.  There is a well-maintained hiking trail and several mangroves and lagoons to explore.  Rio Sarstun is the perfect destination for bird watchers, sport fishers, or nature lovers.
