This wildlife refuge was a farm of coffee and banana plantations; nevertheless, these days, the main activity of the farm is Ecotourism. In order to afford the expenses to preserve the forest and maintain the projects of conservation, people in charge of this project make use of the money from tourist’s entrance fee.

Concerning accommodations, there are plenty of hotels near the reserve. Depending on whom you travel with, you may choose the hotel that suits you best such as for couples and families. In particular, the town of Santa Elena provides coffee and local restaurants for visitors.
