We are proud to support the protection of flora and fauna of this Refuge, which is approximately 224 Ha, 8349 m2 (SINAC, 2011). Within this territory, there are some distinct ecosystems, primary forest, secondary forest, riparian forest, and gallery forest. The avian fauna includes more than 57 species of birds and 26 species of herpetofauna, including 13 reptiles and seven amphibians. There are also 26 species of mammals, including 11 types of bats.
We host various conservation and protection programs during different seasons of the year.
From June to December is the sea turtle protection and monitoring; we use the help of gentle and committed volunteers who devote their efforts and time to building the hatchery to incubate eggs, patrol every night and guard the hatchery 24/7.
Tropicalized vineyard
Our founder, Albert S. Ingalls III, invested his whole life in Costa Rica, researching and creating hybrids of vines that would be resistant to tropical weather. His hybrids are a cross between European grapes and endemic ones.
More than 40 years later, his vines are still alive and producing!
