Cacao mountains

The Cacao Mountains, also known as Montañas del Cacao, are a rugged mountain range in southeastern Guatemala, characterized by lush rainforests and rich biodiversity. Named after the cacao trees that thrive there, these mountains are part of the Sierra del Lacandón. They are important for their biodiversity, providing habitat for many species, and for their cultural significance to indigenous communities. The terrain influences local climate and water sources, supporting agriculture and ecosystems. The Cacao Mountains play a vital role in regional conservation efforts and promote sustainable development through eco-tourism and preservation initiatives.
