La Boquilla: Life Inside a Colombian Mangrove Village | SLICE

Описание: Tucked deep within a lush mangrove swamp on Colombia’s Caribbean coast lies La Boquilla, a small fishing village founded over 300 years ago by the descendants of enslaved Africans.
Here, the mangrove is more than a landscape — it's a way of life.

Every day, locals like Elias glide silently through its green tunnels, casting nets, guiding visitors, and drawing sustenance from waters their ancestors once called home.

“The mangrove gives me everything,”. “It feeds me. It sustains my family. It brings the tourists who help us survive. Everything I have, the mangrove has given to me.”

In La Boquilla, the bond between people and nature is deep, ancestral, and vital — a living testimony to cultural survival and environmental harmony.
