The surrounding cloud forest, home to endangered species, was recognized by the National Network of Private Preserves in 2011.

Inquire
This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
