Since the early 1990; we have run a small ecological reserve that conserves natural secondary forest regeneration. This area used to be a pastureland and a black bean farm. Natural regeneration processes have created a secondary tropical forest where we study and protect the tropical ecosystems to get a better understanding of them. Our mission is to conserve and sustainably manage biodiversity of the protected area through activities of eco-friendly production and integrated natural resources management. The vision is to be a model project for the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity; developing programs and projects to train and educate national and international visitors through guided tours and presentations. We receive national and foreign volunteers at any time of year.
