Castillo de San Felipe de Lara
Witness Spanish colonial military defense at Castillo de San Felipe de Lara, which was built in 1644 to protect the port of San Antonia de las Bodegas from frequent pirate attacks. The 17th-century three-level fort, which is built of stone, sits on the narrowest point of the Dulce River. It consists of two outer walls, which envelope a semicircular bastion. Enter the fort via a small drawbridge over a moat. Plan to see Castillo de San Felipe de Lara and other attractions that appeal to you using our Izabal trip planning tool .

If you have a hour or 2-3 wants to spend around Rio Dulce, then this is definitely a good option. Cute and adorable fort on the Lake, which is well maintained. A beautiful garden for a pleasant walk from the entrance to the fort.View original

Probably the best place to visit in Río Dulce. It's small but you can walk all around, you can see the river from it. You can also have a boat ride and see it from the outside.

Great family place, for a pic-nic ou just a day out. Lost of water activities to do ou just for chill out. Certainly a fabulous place to visit whilst in Rio Dolce or surroundings.
