After a delicious breakfast, a presentation of the site and the planned itinerary was given. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visit began with a hike up La Venta Hill, from where visitors could observe different species of monkeys, birds, and trees. The hike lasted about two hours and ended with the discovery of a natural cave. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, participants enjoyed a traditional lunch of mote de queso (a typical cheese soup) prepared by the community. To close the visit, a group of local young girls performed a cumbia dance, offering visitors a glimpse of the cultural and traditional aspects of the region \u2014 much to the delight of guests from the department of Sucre, as well as national and international tourists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visit to La Venta plays an essential role in preserving the dry tropical forest, as the area has been threatened by mining activities that could resume and endanger local wildlife. Promoting ecotourism in this region allows the residents of Sincelejo and nearby areas to discover this precious ecosystem, spend a day in contact with nature, and learn more about endemic species such as the gu\u00e1imaro tree, the white-headed titi monkey, and the howler monkey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the development of ecotourism spaces strengthens the local community and the Totumita de Oro Association by generating stable income that can be reinvested in new sustainable projects such as beekeeping, food processing, and other community activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the cooperation of Envol Vert, this visit is part of a broader strategy for economic alternatives, offering opportunities for local and sustainable development while promoting the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and networks for the strengthening of the territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":54294,"template":"","fils_d_actu_categ":[1652],"class_list":["post-54301","fil_d_actu","type-fil_d_actu","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fils_d_actu_categ-dry-forest-conservation-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fil_d_actu\/54301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fil_d_actu"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fil_d_actu"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fil_d_actu\/54301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"fils_d_actu_categ","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envol-vert.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fils_d_actu_categ?post=54301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
