Discover the United Nations Park, the only national park in the heart of the Guatemalan metropolis. This natural oasis offers a unique chance to explore the challenges and opportunities of conservation in urban contexts.

On Wednesday, October 8 following CADF 2025, the visit will begin with a hike along the OroVerde Trail, with stops at viewpoints that reveal the interaction between urbanization and ecological resilience. The tour of the park will highlight current difficulties and provide an opportunity to learn about the role of civil society in protecting the park and the Lake Amatitlán watershed, amidst a context of urban growth and institutional weakness.

The day will conclude with a visit to key private sector partners, followed by a discussion with the Greater City of the South Commonwealth on water governance. This space seeks to foster dialogue between donors and organizations around rights-based solutions.
