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.

Either Bluefields' or El Rama's alcaldía (mayor's office) or, better still, Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University, can arrange tours through the Volunteer Park Rangers Association.
