Dulce River, NM Guatemala

Here is a clear, American English translation of your text (even though the original is already in English, I’ll make it more concise and natural for a US audience): --- The Dulce River is located entirely within the Izabal department of Guatemala. It’s part of a lake and river system that has become a popular destination for cruising sailboats. The river starts where it flows out of Lake Izabal. At the river’s entrance stands a small Spanish colonial fort, the Castillo de San Felipe de Lara, which was built to keep pirates from entering the lake from the Caribbean back when this region of Central America was an important shipping hub. Just after the river leaves Lake Izabal, it’s crossed by one of the largest bridges in Central America. On one side of the bridge is the town of Fronteras—often called Río Dulce—which serves as the local commercial center. Fronteras has a vegetable market that draws people from the countryside, many of whom arrive in dugout canoes. Most of these boats use Japanese outboard motors, but some people still paddle their cayucos by hand on market days. On the other side of the bridge is the town of El Relleno. Nearby is Casa Guatemala, a children’s village and orphanage that houses about 250 children, providing them with food and education.
