Parismina
Our village is a small community of about 400 people located on the Caribbean coast where the Parismina River connects with the Caribbean Sea. We love to play football (soccer), volleyball, and fish. Many of us work with local lodges as guides and hospitality staff and some of us are employed at the school and medical clinic in town. We also have our own businesses in the village including restaurants, small supply stores, fruit stands, and carpentry services. We enjoy the opportunity to meet new people and be hosts for guests from around the world.
