We spent a week in the lagoon last June. We were planning on returning on our way back to Roatan. There are a group of thugs out there that appear to have become violent.

We relatively felt safe along the coast. If course, we traveled with a group. Spent a week there waiting out a passing storm. Nice place.

Two years ago a cruiser was killed on the Rio Dulce. It's my understanding that the local drug cartel took care of the problem by finding and killing the guilty ones. There have been no incidents of any kind since. That could be the only way this new problem will be cleaned up.

This is not good.
