We will journey to the Churute Ecological Reserve for a canoe excursion to observe the local plant and animal life. Following that, we’ll proceed to the trail of the howler monkeys for a brief hike to spot the resident primates.
Post hike, we’ll visit the Cacao y Mango farm for a lunch break and a chocolate production demonstration.
The Churute Mangroves are a unique area where three distinct ecosystems merge in a compact area. Notably, the red mangrove stands out, with its roots stretching out as if they’re moving through the waterways, earning it the nickname ‘walking mangrove’ from the locals.

The reserve serves as a sanctuary for a variety of animal species, including some that are endangered, like the Canclon, a waterfowl inhabiting the lagoon that shares its name, and the coastal crocodile, now extinct in other coastal regions. Owing to the reserve’s diverse and expansive aquatic habitats, it earned the designation of a Ramsar site in 1990, a global accolade for significant wetlands.
