Find a deeper love for nature with Indigo at Estación Biológica las Guacamayas.

I have spent the last 2 weeks doing conservation work with reptiles and amphibians in the Las Guacamayas national park in Guatemala, with some truly amazing human beings. A phenomenon I wasn’t expecting.

I went there looking to reconnect with nature, and get to watch some of my favourite animals in their natural habitat.

On top of that, I found so much more. I found the light I needed at one of the darkest times of my life, I found inspiration and a new faith in humanity.

I found joys in hardship & the most modest of creature comforts, and new realisations about the world we think we live in. I found a new confidence in myself and a deeper love for nature than I already had.

I will post an album of pictures of my trip, and the amazing animals I encountered, and I would like to thank Rowland Griffin, of Indigo Expeditions for making it possible. He does some amazing work and I am proud to have been a part of it.

If any of you would like to partake in one of his expeditions, and hopefully take all the positives from the experience that I have, then drop him a message, I can’t see how anyone could regret it.

Every year, at Community Cloud Forest Conservation, we have a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our amphibians and reptiles, because of the expertise of Indigo Expeditions that they bring in their expeditions, their volunteers that come here, and we have a lovely time with them. It’s really a wonderful time.
