We travel to Livingston along the incredible Rio Dulce Gorge - and we think it may be Guatemala's best-kept secret!?

Want to sleep in a jungle lodge? Boat ride on one of Guatemala´s most beautiful river systems? Visit a place only accessible by boat? Soak in unique Guatemalan Caribbean culture found nowhere else in Guatemala (or in the world)? Explore somewhere without loads of tourists? Then look no further - Rio Dulce and Livingston are waiting for you!

Hello! 👋

It’s Emily from Australia, and Tom from the UK. Welcome to our channel! Ever since Tom fell victim to Emily’s infectious smile in a dorm room in Chile in January 2020, the two of us have been an inseparable travel pair. Both being avid travellers we now have a combined total of 48 counties over 6 continents under our belts. After being separated for 8 months and then locked down in the UK for another 6, we’re finally back on the road again navigating international travel during the post COVID era... 🤙🏼
