Visitors can use the cabins as a base when visiting the impressive Mayan ruins at Tikal, bird watching at Tikal National Park, or hiking to the popular La Playita for some lakeside beach time.

Where in the world have you been? No. Seriously. Where have you been? Recently, my friend Ersela asked me if the blog had any place for people who traveled Green Postcards-style to share their experiences. I'm working on trying to get a discussion board up, but in the mean time, consider yourself invited to guest-post. Yeah, I mean you. Let's say you've recently gone to, oh, Kenya, and you have fabulous pictures to share and some advice on traveling green and cheap (you know who you are!). All you've got to do is e-mail me at greenpostcards AT gmail.com. We'll put you on the official GP calendar, and you'll be a published (blog) travel writer in no time. Plus, you'll give me a day or two off. Which is nice of you. Seriously. Where have you been? Come back tomorrow when the surf is up in Nicaragua! --- Lonely Planet Buy One Get One Free Find Cheap...
