The Hacienda Tijax offers a special and unique place to be in touch with nature. Since 1990 Tijax has evolved into the most unique place on the Rio Dulce and probably on the whole Izabal Region and Guatemalan Caribbean. Although the Lodge has maintained its rustic and open nature the fact that it is nestled inside a 400+ Acre (200 Hectares) spread with it`s own Nature Reserve, forestry project, miles of trails, water springs and pools make it the destination to visit while on the Rio Dulce. Centrally located from here you can embark on several day trips to other places of interest like the Rio Dulce boat trip to Livingston, the Hot Waterfall at Finca Paraiso.
Simple things like clean sheets, dry towels and a hearty meal serviced by a friendly staff while enjoying the sounds and smells of the jungle. We are practical and austere but still able to enjoy a cocktail by the pool or watch the moonrise from our dock, hike the jungle trails or visit the plantation on horseback, kayak at dawn to the monkey hideout…
Relax, enjoy, learn, and be in harmony with Jungle environment!

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
