Cover photo description:
Drone view: Stock footage filmed from a drone of El Paredon beach, in the municipality of Sipacate on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, in Escuintla Department, about 36 kilometres 22 mi west of Puerto San JosÃ©, is a small fishing and resort town. It is promoted as a venue for surfing. Being roughly in the center of the Guatemalan breakpoint coastline, it is used as a breakpoint for storm warnings. The Sipacate-Naranjo National Park is located east of the town. The municipality was formerly a part of La Gomera Municipality just north of Sipacate. Some very early human settlements are documented in Sipacate, connected with early agriculture. In sum, sediments sampled in the Sipacate locality appear to document two distinct waves of deforestation associated with early horticulture. The earliest began shortly after 3500 cal B.C. and involved multiple episodes of forest clearance over the next 800 years. The second began after 1700 cal B.C. and coincides with the archaeologically documented presence of Early Formative populations. Sipacate has tropical climate.
