The area is part of the San Juan – La Selva biological corridor. The immediate region has a wide variety of habitats such as lagoons, streams, wetlands, livestock pastures, scrubland, secondary and primary forest, allowing for very high biodiversity.

Various operators also offer rafting or mountain bike tours here. Banana, pineapple and pepper plantations in the immediate vicinity can be visited and you can experience how cattle are traded in Costa Rica at weekly auctions.
