A Land That Came Back to Life

This was once overgrazed pasture. Dry. Exhausted. Forgotten.
Today, it’s home to howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, and a vibrant ecosystem reborn from the ground up.

We didn’t buy a forest — we grew it. With time, love, and 12,000+ native trees.

The Wildlife We Live With

Walk quietly. Listen closely. You’ll likely meet:

  • Howler and capuchin monkeys
  • Sloths and coatis
  • Toucans, motmots, hummingbirds
  • Butterflies, frogs, and fireflies
  • And dozens of species returning each year

 

This forest breathes with life — and you’re part of its rhythm.

Where You Walk Matters

Our reserve includes:

 

  • Primary forest pockets that never gave up
  • Young regrowth zones pushing toward the light
  • Reforested areas planted by hand since 2006
  • Agroforestry rows blending food and biodiversity

 

Each path reveals a chapter in our restoration story.
