Exploring El Paredón: Paradise on Guatemala’s Pacific Surf Coast | Travel Vlog

Welcome to our first vlog from our backpacking trip in Guatemala!
On Guatemala's Pacific Coast is the tiny surf town of El Paredón 🇬🇹🏄‍♂️ Dan spent a week here in 2019 and back then there was barely more than a couple of hostels/hotels, and now it is becoming a buzzy surf spot and popular travel destination.
It is the perfect spot to spend a few days relaxing in tropical paradise, exploring the volcanic black sand beaches and mangroves, and also catching some waves if you can. Unfortunately when we were there, the waves were way too huge to surf.
Our recommendations:
🛖 Stay at Casa Zala the most tranquil and beautiful Airbnb
🍴 Eat at Pez Paredón for tacos, Yoli's for ceviche and Sandra's for fish and just general local food
🍻 Take a tuk tuk to Playa 14, the beach club owned by a craft brewery
🌞 Catch at least one sunrise and one sunset on the beach - they truly are so magical
🐢 If you are there in the right season (Sept-Dec, we weren't this time but Dan was last time), wake up early to watch the baby turtle release.

[@SeekerFitness]

which month did you go, why are there nobody on the beach besides y'all? watching sunrise lol Is it less touristy there than the lake? I'm trying to figure out my itin

[@TranquilaTravels]

We were there end of April! It's defo a lot less touristy than the lake!

[@ecoguardians]

You did not mentioned how long was the car drive to the beach! and how much it cost. Details are crucial for backpackers. WTF

[@jP-yu9ie]

It’s probably a 3 hour drive from Guatemala City .. cost depends on how you get there, if it’s a chicken bus to Pt San Jose way cheaper but dangerous as those buses drive recklessly.. best to get a shuttle

[@caminantesolitario6163]

Can you guys tell me in what part of Guatemala its located el paredon

[@TranquilaTravels]

El Paredón is on the pacific coast, south of Ciudad Guatemala, in the Escuintla municipality
