We also visited Telchac Puerto and the new restaurant Club Nautica Terraya a couple of times. Great food and reasonable prices.  One of these visits included a short day trip past Telchac Puerto to San Crisanto and then heading inland to Sinache, Telchac Pueblo, Dzemul and back home. Saw some interesting sights and sites!

The 20 minute drive down the road was fun to do, especially when you arrive somewhat unexpectedly in the beautiful town square of Sinache!
