Exploring the Mangrove Forest (Eng/Esp)

English version

This time I’m sharing some photos of the mangrove forest, a dense stand of vegetation found on the “east” side of Maigualida Beach. If you look closely, this area can be a little intimidating because it’s located at an angle that blocks the view of the beach resort; it’s a blind spot where you can see various branches that obscure the view into the forest.

The truth is that you can see vegetation consisting of trees adapted to living in saltwater and in soils with very little oxygen. This area serves as a habitat for various fish, crustaceans, mollusks, coastal birds, and other organisms such as insects and reptiles.

This stream runs through the heart of the mangrove forest and empties into the beach. The sand around it is muddy, typical of places where water pools. I noticed this when my feet sank into it, which wasn’t pleasant at all—I hate that feeling of unstable ground.

This mangrove forest reminded me of the one I saw at Quetepe Beach; however, this one felt more somber—as if it were the setting for a scene from a mystery movie in the wee hours of the morning. The mangrove forest at Quetepe, on the other hand, offered a more pleasant view, but ultimately, it’s all a matter of perception.

If it weren't for the condition of the shoreline, it would be a paradise to stay and enjoy the beach in the shade of the trees, just like in those castaway movies, but the beach was dirty and dark, the solitude was somewhat unsettling, and the muddy ground stretched as far as the eye could see. So I just took in the view and snapped some photos of this beautiful spot.

Without a doubt, exploring different areas of Maigualida has given me a broader perspective on everything this marine ecosystem has to offer, and it has left me with wonderful memories.

Esta vez les traigo unas fotos sobre el manglar, una formación vegetal abundante que se encuentra en el lado "Este" de la playa Maigualida. Si fijamos bien la mirada, esta zona puede producir un poco de temor puesto que está ubicada en un ángulo que no concede visibilidad hacia el balneario, es un punto ciego donde se perciben diferentes enramadas que no permiten mayor visión del interior del bosque.

Lo cierto es que se puede apreciar una vegetación compuesta por árboles adaptados a vivir en agua salada y en suelos con muy poco oxígeno. Esta zona funciona como el hábitat de diversos peces, crustáceos, moluscos, aves costeras y otros organismos como insectos y reptiles.

Este riachuelo recorre el corazón del manglar y desemboca en la playa. La arena que está alrededor es fangosa, propia de lugares donde hay agua estancada. Lo pude notar cuando mis pies se hundían, lo cual no fue nada grato para mí, detesto esta sensación de suelo inestable.

Este manglar me hizo recordar al que observé en playa Quetepe, sin embargo, este se notaba más sombrío, tal como para grabar una escena de una película de misterio a altas horas de la madrugada. Mientras el manglar de Quetepe me regalaba una mirada más grata, pero definitivamente, todo es cuestión de percepción.

De no ser por las características de la orilla sería un lugar paradisíaco para quedarse y disfrutar de la playa bajo la sombra de los árboles, al mejor estilo de las películas de náufragos, pero la playa estaba sucia y oscura, la soledad resultaba un tanto inquietante, en tanto el suelo fangoso se extendía por todo el lugar. Así que me limité a admirar el panorama y tomar fotografías de tan atractivo sector.

Sin duda, conocer diferentes zonas de Maigualida me ha permitido tener una visión mas amplia de todo lo que puedo encontrar en este ecosistema marino que me ha dejado recuerdos maravillosos.
