The Refuge

The farm of 800 acres is administered by Giancarlo and is dedicated to cattle, horses, and also to salt and hay production. We have developed a three steps reforesting program:
- a natural return to the forest enviroment, that was degraded by cattle farming,
- plantation of local species in selected areas,
- and plantation of exotic species .


Today we are proud to have more than 30% of the farm covered by forests, which helps to mantain the natural habitat. Since 1977 we have been working in defending what has been declarated a "national refuge for fauna", and we include the mangle zones at the end of the Abangares River .

The area is very important because it has one of the last primary and secondary forests of the northern Puntarenas province.

The area covers three types of wet enviroments: mangles, sweet water, and a line on the Golfo de Nicoya shore. These ecosystems are of vital importance and they must be preserved.
