Pantasma Tourist Project, Nicaragua
By Rolando Tellez
Two things are essential to make
Pantasma an international tourist destination: Protection of the environment
and the Rolando Tellez Rock Museum in Pantasma, Nicaragua. A joint effort is
required for this untapped potential of this Meteorite Crater in northern
Nicaragua.
My 2009 newspaper article included the
idea of building a museum of beautiful rocks, which are found in Pantasma, Jinotega.
These rocks and artifacts should be collected, classified, and protected by the
Mayor's Office of Pantasma. However, the Mayor´s Office has technical and financial
constraints. For this reason, a community effort is required to collect such
rocks.
I suggested that the Mayor's Office must
guarantee that every community member who has lent his/her rock(s), may
withdraw such rocks at any time. Every participating community member must have
gotten a guarantee certificate for the rocks lent to the Mayor's Office. A big
collection of such rocks at a kiosk and later a museum will be an interesting
tourist attraction.
On the other hand, local authorities
such as INAFOR and MARENA, along with the Mayor's Office, must forbid cutting
down trees, burns, and garbage thrown into rivers, creeks, streets, or roads.
Also, I have made recommendations regarding the collection of rocks.
The book titled Meteorite, Pantasma
Crater, Meteorite Impact and other bilingual books of Nicaragua are available
at the Mayor´s Office. If you are interested in doing your bit, promoting this
beautiful rural site, Pantasma, make sure you share this article with your
social networks. For further information, you can e-mail me at Rolando2@fulbrightmail.org
