RIO HONDO FLOATING VILLAGE

Less than three kilometers from the town center, the village of Rio Hondo can be spotted by its gate and the silver dome of the local mosque. Rio Hondo means "deep river", so keep moving until you reach the village, built entirely on stilts above 23 hectares of mangrove swamp. At high tide, the houses are linked by wooden walkways. The entrance is via the wooden bridge over the Río Hondo, which bounds the village.
