You can find castle San Felipe de Lara in Izabal, Guatemala, along the banks of the Dulce River. It was constructed in the mid-17th century by the Spanish to protect themselves from the constant attacks of English pirates lurking in the Caribbean. It’s a tourist attraction today, but it has a dark past and a dark past comes with ghosts. Cristina shares the tragic case of Floridalma Roque, a 59 year old woman who went to Guatemala for a cosmetic surgery, but never returned.
