Short description of Livingston

Livingston is a vibrant Caribbean town on Guatemala's eastern coast and the cultural heart of the Garífuna, an Afro-Indigenous community. Accessible only by boat via the Río Dulce or from Puerto Barrios, the town is known for its laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, colorful wooden houses, palm-lined waterfront, and the Garífuna traditions of music, dance, language, and coconut-based cuisine. Surrounded by tropical rainforest, beaches, and waterfalls, Livingston blends Caribbean charm with Guatemala's rich cultural diversity. As the gateway to Playa Quehueche, Playa Blanca, and the Siete Altares waterfalls, it is one of the country's most distinctive travel destinations.
