Discovered going by boat

The Golfete is a part of the Dulce River, near Morales in Guatemala, which can be discovered going by boat from Morales to the Garifuna village of Livingston. It is a very and wild natural area which still atracts many bird lovers and other mammalsfrom are lured in by the River Basin and Mayan communities living around the river. Eco-tourism is developing in Guatemala in a very positive way, helping to preserve not only the environment, but also the traditional lifestyle of the communities. When Morales salts, first see the natural beauty of Golfete, water lilies on the river, walk a little in the mangrove creeks that are thrown to the main river, and then they bring to communities to see such as houses and how they live.

The people, know as Q'eqchi live have lived by the river for hundreds of years. The houses are elevated to avoid flooding. An interesting project is Ak Temanit, which is near the Eco Hotel near the Finca Tatin. It's managed by the community, and all funds go towards the same project. It Sells arts and crafts, souvenirs manufactured by wood and natural resources of the forest. There is also a volunteer hospital ship that sails down the river to heal children who can not move so easily.
