in what consist this?

This expedition consists of an experience about the history of Playa Grande and the growth of the community, through a walk that shows the efforts that are being made to coexist with a national park.

We will start at the entrance of the national park where we will tell the story and the reasons for its creation. Then we will take a tour to learn about the beginnings of the town and walk through the streets crossing landscapes that shape this growing community.

We will visit the Collection Center and then enter a private reserve that seeks to be a model of connectivity and conservation. Finally, we will close with a time for food and a refreshing drink in a typical food restaurant.

Why is this important?

Playa Grande is a rapidly growing town that seeks to be a model community for coexisting with vulnerable ecosystems that are necessary for the reproduction of endangered species, for the transit of migratory species and the maintenance of marine-coastal fauna and flora.

From sea turtles, iguanas, crabs and even birds, this community is a place of passage or reproduction, so we must learn mechanisms to avoid their decline and maintain or improve environmental conditions as human development advances.

WE CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

This project seeks increase the economic benefits to small countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of tourism; as well as improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.
