Here you can find just a few of the many Guatiza Garage Walks. They will give you an idea of what you can find and distances involved. These walks pass through the Hondura area and lie to the south and east of the LZ-1, looking down towards the coast. The whole area is quite flat, but hide a few little gems. Each walk is about 10 km with well marked paths or tracks to follow.
Drinks and snacks can of course be purchased from the garage. The small village of Guatiza has a few bars and restaurants for something a little more substantial.
Detours
There are a couple of detours you can make on your way round. Visit the the Salt Pans of Los Cocoteros (Agujeros). There are two sites to explore, the old abandoned works to the south of the Bañadero de Guatiza and the working one on the north side. The Bañadero de Guatiza is a great place for swim, semi enclosed from the sea with plenty of space for sun bathing as well.
Another place to visit in the area is the old block quarry on the southern slopes of Montaña de Tinamala. Here you can see where the building blocks were initially cut by hand. You can also find evidence of old well shafts which probably pre date the stone extraction industry.

The sites are in Spanish, so if it helps I have made an attempt to summarise a few topics of interest in the History section.
