The importance of the Mangroves of the Gulf of Montijo

Mangroves are vital ecosystems that serve as a natural barrier against coastal erosion and protect communities from storm surges. They also provide habitats for various marine species, such as fish and crabs, which support the local fishing industry. The tours educate visitors on these crucial aspects while providing them with an opportunity to taste traditional Panamanian cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients. This promotes sustainable tourism by supporting small-scale farmers and reducing carbon emissions caused by importing food products.

If you’re planning a trip to Panama, we highly recommend adding these tours to your itinerary for an unforgettable adventure. By choosing sustainable tourism options like these tours, you can contribute towards protecting our planet while enjoying its natural wonders.
