Surfing the Pacific Coast

We have teamed up with our good friends down at the Paredon Surf House on the sleepy but up and coming surf beach of El Paredon.

Unlike many other Guatemalan beaches Paredon as its known, has a good surf break and super fun waves even if your not a surfer.  Our new trip will be sea-kayaking and surfing focused.  Like our kayak trips to Monterrico we will spend some time exploring the back waterways and mangroves before heading out to the beach for a fish lunch.

We'll overnight in ocean front thatch bungalows.   We'll have an afternoon surf lesson as well as one the following morning before breakfast.

Get in touch with us at Old Town Outfitters for more information on this new great trip down to Guatemala's Pacific coast

Canyoneering on the Rio Xaya

Always looking to forge new ground, we headed out on an expedition to the Rio Xaya.  We were looking to get a first descent of thie upper part of the river and scout it out for a future kayak run later on in the year when the rains come.

It was pretty tough going but we found sweet tight canyons and fun rapids and managed to make it out with only a torn pant leg.  The run during the rainy season looked do-able although you better bring your A game as its a steep canyon all the way to the take out.
