  2. Parque Municipal Mahogany

    Parque Municipal Mahogany is on the curvy Caño Negro, a tributary of Río Escondido as it runs between El Rama and Bluefields. This 278 sq km reserve is a convenient side trip as you travel between them. Either town's alcaldía, or, better, Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University, can arrange tours through the Volunteer Park Rangers Association. The park, which is contiguous with both Reserva Natural Punta Gorda and the Indio-Maíz, is boat access only, and has waterfalls, several species of migratory birds and lots of other wildlife - including tarpon and bass. Fishing is definitely allowed.

  3. Rama Key

    Located inside Bluefields' bay, this barbell-shaped island is home to around 800 people - over half of all remaining Rama Indians. Isolated by the dominant Miskito culture, they still speak their own language and use their traditional government structures. Casa Historia (entry by donation) may be the only museum that chronicles their story.
