Puerto Barrios
Guatemala's main Caribbean port, Puerto Barrios sits on the Bahía de Amatique in the Gulf of Honduras and serves as the departmental seat of Izabal. The city's population is a mix of Garifuna, Maya, and Afro-Caribbean communities, and nearby Livingston offers Garifuna cultural traditions including Punta and Yankunu dances. The Mayan ruins of Quiriguá and the 16th-century Spanish fort Castillo de San Felipe de Lara at Río Dulce are within reach, and the adjacent port of Santo Tomás de Castilla now receives cruise ships.
