Palmarcito, Chiapas

We went to Palmarcito to explore the mangroves, examine the shrimping industry there and look at the tourism potential. It was a beautiful day for a lancha trip and I thought you all would like some pictures ....

Mangroves- the roots keep the main trunk out of the water. Provide lots of habitat for baby fish and shrimp. And tons of crabs.
