The Chocón Machacas Protected Biotope is a protected nature reserve in eastern Guatemala. It is located in the municipality of Livingston, in a densely forested area covering the lower reaches of the Chocón Machacas River basin and the northern shores of the Río Dulce-Golfete Dulce system (15°45′20″N 88°52′24″W﻿ / ﻿15.755464°N 88.873243°W﻿ / 15.755464; -88.873243﻿ (Chocón Machacas Protected Biotope)).

The Chocón Machacas river and Golfete Dulce complex form one of Guatemala's few remaining habitats for the endangered Caribbean manatee (Trichechus manatus).
