Grant Description

BdeB will work with four Mbya Guarani indigenous communities near Puerto Iguazu to build ecotourism infrastructure like trails, wooden platforms overlooking waterways, a birdwatching tower and visitor's center, among others.

It will also develop activities to attract visitors from Argentina and abroad, and train 365 indigenous Mbya in the skills necessary to make their community-based tourism enterprise self-sufficient.
