Livingston - Punta De Manabique

The Punta de Manabique Biotope in Guatemala's northeast is a 50,000 ha/123,500 ac area encompassing coastal land, inland areas, fresh and sea water.

Within this area of considerable biodiversity are found endangered species like the tapir, jaguar, sea turtles, and mangroves.

The marsh of confra palms it contains is an unusual ecosystem and exists only in this region of Guatemala. The region is particularly rich in marine life and bird and mammal species abound in the inland areas.
