ADVENTURE TOURISM
Mangroves on the Santa Rosa River
Many of these routes are managed by
local communities that lead conservation
projects. Some allow visitors to plant red or
black mangrove seedlings; others support
cooperatives that devote their income to
environmental education and wildlife pro-
tection.
Visiting the Guatemalan mangroves is not
just an excursion: it is a lesson in natural ba-
lance. It is understanding how the sea, the
land and life intertwine in a silent dialogue
that reminds the traveller that true adventu-
re lies in caring for what astonishes us.
For those who wish to live this experience
differently, CamOn Viajes, a collaborator of
Traveling Magazine, offers carefully desig-
ned author journeys, with exclusive itinera-
ries that combine nature, culture and en-
counters with local communities. These are
proposals created to discover the country
in a slow and personal way, accompanied
by experts who interpret each place as a
living tale of the Guatemalan soul.
