Description

There are amazing fig trees along rivers and elsewhere in Central America, but if you want to see fig after fig, each one more bizarre than the other, then hop on a boat for the 30-minute ride across Lake Yaxha to reach Topoxte Island. This report is full of photographs for you to admire the design of strangler fig trunks from this location, with some additional info about other species found in areas adjacent to Peten. Plus, we include a suggested reading bibliography.
