Camping at the Finca Ixobel!

We camped in Northern Guatemala just outside of Poptun at the Farm Ixobel; to break up the drive from Flores to Rio Dulce’. It was a family owned property since the 70s. The food was excellent, and they had a bakery on site for fresh bread and sweets. We walked the property trails back to a spring feed pond and roasted marshmallows over a Coleman burner stove for S’mores! Before turning in for the night. It was a relaxing evening. Ironically this is one of the few nights that roosters did not wake us up at 5am and we were on a farm! Then we moved on toward Rio Dulce’. Weather has been great! 84 during the day, 65 at night!

The kids (including Scott) really wanted s’mores, but the fire pit was back in the jungle and the bugs were really bad. So, we opted for the porch of the restaurant & used our Coleman burner! Perfect!
