Shore Excursion: San Felipe Fortress and Banana Plantation
At the entrance of lake Izabal Spaniards built a fortress to protect the silver mint factory from the Pirates. The remains have a history of gun, bottles
and romance, the pirates loved to destroy the fortress and steal the silver.
To reach the lake you will go trough the " Del Monte" pineapple plantation and the "Chiquita Banana" Plantation. The boat ride to the fortress trough the mangroves and marines is very relaxing.
