El Mirador Library

Here is a list of publications our volunteer guides at elmiradorhike.blogspot.com are required to read or learn before accompanying local guides from Carmelita on the El Mirador Hike. We spent months collecting the data, even going to the extremes of paying for some of the papers that were only available through online payment schemes. I sometimes wonder when will GHF, APANAC, El Mirador Basin Project or other big names in the trade make such data available freely and easily to the general public.

We are planning on printing the Spanish translations for local guides in Carmelita who are interested in further training themselves, and English copies for tourists who will be able to read them in Carmelita. Of course, financial support for this is pretty hopeless...
