El Puente is a locally run project that has grown into a welcoming riverside community space in El Paredón. We’ve been hosting travelers for several years, focusing on creating a home-like atmosphere where people can relax, connect, and enjoy nature. Unlike larger hostels, our team keeps things personal, we know our guests by name, and we’re always happy to share tips, stories, and a smile. We currently manage this property, which allows us to give each guest our full attention. Guests can expect warm hospitality, helpful information about the area and activities, and a genuine passion for making their stay memorable.

El Puente is a riverside retreat in El Paredón, offering a unique mix of comfort and community. Guests love the peaceful location by the mangroves, close enough to the village and beach, yet quiet enough to fully relax. All rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms, and thoughtful touches like balconies, small kitchens, or refrigerators, making long stays easy and comfortable. The property features a refreshing pool and cozy sitting areas to unwind, plus free kayaks for guests to explore the river. A hearty breakfast is included every morning, and guests especially enjoy the river sunset boat tours, the home-like atmosphere, and the chance to meet people from around the world in a calm, friendly environment.

El Puente is set on the edge of the mangroves in El Paredón, one of Guatemala’s most beloved surf villages. Guests love the laid-back vibe of the area, where barefoot streets lead to black-sand beaches and world-class waves. The neighbourhood is safe, friendly, and easy to explore on foot or by bike. Beyond surfing, visitors enjoy river tours through the mangroves, stunning sunsets, and spotting wildlife. The village also has a growing selection of beach bars, cafés, and restaurants where travelers mingle with locals. El Paredón is well-known for its surf competitions, yoga classes, and community events, making it a favorite destination for both relaxation and adventure.
