El Paredón: Guatemala's Best-Kept Secret

El Paredón remains refreshingly authentic and wonderfully safe. In this tight-knit fishing village where everyone knows everyone, families stroll the beach at sunset without a worry. 

With just a handful of bars, cafes, restaurants, and mini supermarkets, the village has found the perfect balance—enough amenities to keep you comfortable, but not so many that it's lost its soul. It's Guatemala's Pacific at its best: peaceful, friendly, and now with excellent coffee.

Just 2.5 hours from Guatemala City’s La Aurora Airport, Casa Hibisco offers front-row access to El Paredón's renowned surf breaks and relaxed beach culture. Here, days unfold to the rhythm of the waves, whether you're surfing, running with the kids on the beach, watching sea turtles nest on the black sand, or exploring the surrounding mangrove forests.
