This can be reached by either boat or land via the village of San Felipe. A five to ten minute drive from Rio Dulce lies this small but majestic castle built by the Spaniards in to protect Lago Izabal from pirates. When a pirate ship was spotted coming up river, a chain was stretched across the mouth of the lake to prevent entrance. Then the battle would begin!
