Something not right?
Description
A local Swimmingspot 1km off the road. There is a sign on the road. There is a drop toilet, some wooden tables and some roofs where you can pitch a tent under. Enough space for campervans I guess. But we travel with bicycle, so haven't tried that.
Entry costs 10 Q for adults, 5 for kids under 10.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Very nice place to camp (RV or tent). The river is fresh and it is easy to swim. Lot of locals are coming here, the women are doing laundry in the river and the children are playing in the river or playing football. If you have children here they will find playmates. Children are very nice and curious, they don't speak Spanish but Q'eqchi'. Price is 25Q per adult and children are 12,5Q (after negotiation). We have also been to "El Refugio" to have a look, but we prefered this place.
Report Check-InIt’s a realy nice place and the river is amazing cool. Same Locals washed they clothes in the river but no problem 🤪
Night was very quiet. Price is 25 Quetzal p.P.
What a lovely place.
Not very private when all the locals found out we were here with three dogs but what a treat.
So friendly and inquisitive, stayed until dark
Great place to swim, picked up some garbage
The toilets are rustic (pits) and not clean, only down fall but we would return. Beautiful beyond that
Wow what a beautiful river. This place is as described. It is in a small mayan village that speaks q’ueq’chi but not much spanish.
I paid 25Q pp for camping all the days i wanted, stayed 3 night and was amazing.
El lugar es perfecto para parar a descansar. A la noche no había nadie y estas solo con ese río y la hermosa selva y las estrellas.
Hay una letrina únicamente.
Se consigue madera en la zona para preparar una fogata.
A la mañana bajan las doñas a lavar la ropa, a la tarde los adultos y los niños bajan a bañarse luego de trabajar en el campo (sí, a partir de los 7 años los niños comienzan a trabajar en los campos de cardamomo, cacao, maíz)
Cuando yo estuve la gente se acercaba a hablar y fue una experiencia hermosa e interesante.
En el pueblo no hay luz, gas, agua, cloaca, por ahí hay alguna tienda. El río es un lugar que el pueblo utiliza mucho, si quieren más privacidad vayan al lugar privado que le sigue. Ahí cuesta 25Q pp por noche.
Lo mejor es equiparase bien con todo, en el pueblo Qubilhüitz que esta 3 km antes hay mercado grande.
La gente es buena y muy humilde.
El río es hermoso de color verde jade. Ahí me bañé, lavé ropa y mis platos.
Si únicamente quieren pasar el día cuesta 10Q pp adultos (5Q niños)
Report Check-InTruly a lovely spot!! Thanks for the input!!! Parking/camping just aside of the river ovet a grass field where a natural pool of turkoise water forms. No facilities but water from natural source (the river). Excelent to swim!! 10Q pP. Max of 2.75m height. Bring everything you need. Very worthy! Just 1km from main road.
