| The crown jewel for an ecotourism lodge is a tower or a tramway to enable tourists to observe the wealth of life in the forest canopy. But in a number of places in Guatemala and neighboring countries, these facilities already exist, thanks to the engineering zeal of the ancient Mayas. Where else can tourists climb gleaming limestone temples and look down at troupes of monkeys and flocks of noisy parrots? The IDB is financing a project called Mundo Maya (Mayan World), which will develop tourist itineraries linking prime natural and cultural sites in the region. |
