Thanks to great help of one family When Karen, Marc, Galen and Hannah saw the platic bottles and other items that the ocean had brought in to the beach of El Remanso (unfortunately some garbage finds its way even to areas as remote as this) they decided it would be a good idea to remove them. A big THANK YOU to the four of you for your great work and helping us to keep this place special!
