Description of La Amistad

The land is divided into small areas for coffee growing and organic agriculture, with 95% of the land dedicated to conservation and ecotourism. The coffee plantations are interspersed among patches of forest, rivers, springs and waterfalls.

La Amistad Reserve is considered by many to be one of the most extraordinary forests in all of Costa Rica. It is home to quetzals, jaguars, monkeys, tapirs and more than 400 species of birds. Some of the world’s rarest butterflies are found here, as well as Costa Rica’s only species of nocturnal monkey. The forest ranges from premontane rainforest through alpine paramo.
