Around midday, and after a good swim and a deep exploration of your natural surroundings, you are going to continue your way to the finca Chacula, a very important site for the indigenous communities of the Mayan highlands with a sacred lagoon and mayan archaeological remains on site.
There is so much to be discovered around here, with its vast history and mystical energy, you are definitely going to experience a day in one of the most magical places in Guatemala.

El Hoyo del Cimarron (or the Cimarron Hole) is a formation by eroded rock which then collapsed and left a gigantic 80mt deep hole into the earth with a beautiful forest growing in its bottom. So get ready to explore and connect with it before you depart to the second destination of the day, the astonishing Laguna Brava.
Laguna Brava is the biggest lagoon in the country and a very special place which stands out because of its virgin and wild feeling. With local and international tourism being very limited around here, this place is truly very untouched and totally out of the map of the regular tourist brochure.
If you are more of the laid back type, you can easily chill-out at your fully equipped campground and enjoy the beautiful scenery that this place offers, or if you are more of an adventurous spirit, you can explore your wild nature surroundings and get amazed by the magic of this place.
