Finca Paraíso
Finca Paraíso is located on the shores of Lake Izabal in the Municipality of El Estor.

Its greatest attraction is a hot spring waterfall which is a phenomenon that nature rarely presents, since even in the early morning you can see the water vapor that it expels.

In contrast, at the foot of the waterfall are the cold waters of the San Antonio River, whose mixture makes Finca Paraíso a unique place.
