This property has a butterfly garden, surrounded by primary forest of huge and imposing trees. In this jungle, we can find precious tropical woods, trails, reforested areas and agricultural fields. One advantage we have is to be located close to one of the official entrances to Corcovado Nationa Park. This project started with a farm in Guácimo of Limón, which was sold, and the resources were used to buy the current property at La Tarde. The purpose has always been to work on tourism. Nowadays, the project counts with a butterfly garden, trails, an organic cocoa plantation, and a reforestation programme.
