Eco-touristic Park Tatasirire Waterfalls
The Eco-tourist Park, Tatasirire Waterfalls reunites components which facilitate the entertainment, the relaxation, the recreation, the tourism of low impact, the sustainable extreme adventure, the ecology (sanctuary and refuge of wild life: flora and fauna), the preservation of the scenic beauty and the natural conservation of the biodiversity, resources and the cultures of the region, in order to guarantee their existence for the present as for the future generations; as much to enjoy such as the fixation of carbon dioxide, water absorption and its provision in benefit of the surrounding communities, generating, also, direct and indirect employment for their habitants

Tatasirire Waterfalls is a different private productive project, with social sense, designed under the principles of ecotourism and the sustainable development, which contributes to the rural development. This model can be replicated, in spite of its uniqueness in its attractions and singular in its nature, using the principles that gave origin to it, thus creating more innovating projects. It also allows education and learning by direct bonding with nature and the native cultures such as the Mayan (Pocomán) and the Xinka; they coexist with the no indigenous culture (Ladino). All these are called ECOTOURISM.
