Geography and Climate
Located on the western side of the Gulf of Fonseca, Macovia has a unique landscape with mangrove wetlands and black sand beaches. The climate is tropical, with distinct dry and rainy seasons and an average annual temperature of about 28°C. The surrounding waters are a breeding ground for sea turtles and a migratory corridor for migratory birds due to their proximity to the entrance of the Gulf of Fonseca.
History, Culture and Economy
As a traditional settlement of the indigenous Lenca people, Makovia has preserved folk crafts such as hand weaving. The economy is based on agriculture, fishing and a small amount of tourism, but in recent years it has gradually developed eco-tourism programs, such as mangrove bird-watching and visits to sea turtle conservation bases.
