Casa Iguana...
During my trip to the area, I stayed at Casa Iguana Hotel. It’s a great place to be if you don’t want to plan every single part of your vacation, and would like to experience your jungle adventures with the aid of experienced, friendly guides. Great jungle tour!!!!!

Places
Definitely visit The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A beautiful church and great representation of Mexico’s strong sense of religion. Also stroll about the gorgeous waterfront boulevard (Malecon) if you have some time to spare
