Livingston

Livingston is the name of a town in Izabal department, Guatemala, at the mouth of the Río Dulce at the Gulf of Honduras. The town (whose name is occasionally adapted into Spanish orthography as Lívingston) serves as the municipal seat of the municipality of the same name. It was Guatemala's main port on the Caribbean Sea before the construction of nearby Puerto Barrios.
Livingston is noted for its unusual mix of Garífuna, Maya, Indian and Latino people and culture. In recent decades Livingston has developed a large tourist industry.
Livingston is named after U.S. american jurist and politician Edward Livingston who wrote the Livingston Codes which were used as the basis for the laws of the liberal government of the United Provinces of Central America in the early 19th century. (...) more....

    Livingston is very cool place - totally Caribbean and you wouldn't think you are in Guatemala at all! Plenty of nice fresh seafood and rice dishes and cool beer + relaxed people make it a great hang out spot.
