Punda Gorda (or PG as it's known) is a slightly ramshackle coastal settlement down in the Deep South of Toledo. Once known to travelers mainly as a port to get the boat across to Guatemala, it's increasingly attracting visitors looking to chill out in the south and as a base for exploring surrounding Maya villages and culture, and the remote Southern Cayes.
When arrived in the dusk, I was the only visitor needed to go through the immigration and the officer was friendly and guided me out through the gate. A taxi driver waved for me but I rather explored the town by myself as I had not yet reserved a room and needed to "walk in" and check for available room.
1) Grace Restaurant - only few rooms and "no" to me
2) Tate's Guest House - only 6 rooms and it is good for value-for-monry
3) St. Charles Inn - the house-keeper seemed not ready for walk-in guest, but plenty rooms for rent
PG spreads along the Gulf of Honduras, its compact downtown area stretching lazily for several blocks just in from the coast. The town centre is a triangular park with a distinctive blue-and-white clock tower. When looking for a guesthouse, I missed a turn and went to the town centre by mistake and could take a photo before dark.
