Chocolata Road Cleanup in San Juan del Sur

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

This past Sunday April 20, 2008, Aurora Beachfront Realty participated in the third annual cleanup of La Chocolata, the 22 kilometer dirt road from San Juan del Sur to Rivas. This road is the access from San Juan del Sur to all the beaches north including: the surf beach Maderas, Playa Marsella, Playa Majagual and Los Playones.

Morgan’s Rock organized the annual event, helping bring hundreds of volunteers out to clean up the Chocolata. Aurora is always happy to work with Morgan’s Rock in community endeavors and especially to help make Nicaragua cleaner and more beautiful.

The day was sunny and the road has never looked better. Volunteers woke up with the Nicaraguan dawn and started picking up trash at 6 AM. Volunteers were treated to lunch and music after donating their time to help the community. Aurora Beachfront wants to commend Morgan’s Rock for their time and energy.
