As dawn breaks, the gentle hum of the ship's engine slows as you glide into Santo Tomas, Guatemala's largest and busiest port. Disembarking typically starts around 7:00 AM, inviting you to a picturesque harbor with easy access to Wi-Fi, an ATM, local vendors, and welcoming cafes.
While the port town itself is primarily a commercial hub, a short journey will lead you to the core of Guatemalan culture. The bustling city of Puerto Barrios is a short drive away and offers a tantalizing insight into local life, with its lively markets, historic churches, and vibrant city parks.
When the beach calls, you'll be spoilt for choice. From the white sands of Amatique Bay Beach Resort to the quaint charm of Punta Manabique, you can revel in the sunshine, indulge in a variety of water sports, or simply admire the scenic beauty.
For thrill-seekers, the lush Quirigua National Park, home to ancient Mayan ruins and stunning wildlife, is a must-visit. Alternatively, a boat tour of the Rio Dulce, known as the "Sweet River," offers breathtaking views of towering cliffs, bird-filled mangroves, and a castle steeped in pirate lore.
Hungry after all the adventure? Indulge in some traditional Guatemalan cuisine. Be sure to try 'Tamales', steamed corn dough filled with meats and served with a savory sauce. Wash it down with 'Licuados', a popular fruity beverage similar to a smoothie.
As the day winds down, be sure to pick up souvenirs from local markets or the port's gift shop. Look out for locally made handicrafts, colorful textiles, and Guatemalan coffee. With souvenirs tucked away and the heart filled with memories, you return to the ship around 5 PM, ready to sail towards the next exciting destination on your Caribbean cruise.
A cruise that begins in Miami and stops in the Santo Tomas de Castilla would enchant even the most seasoned tourist with its natural splendor. Cruises to the Santo Tomas de Castilla are ideal for those who fantasize about lovely beaches dotted with palm trees and crystal-clear waters.
