This tour, takes you to a conservation and permaculture effort in which we are trying to reactivate the local economy and to protect this 300 acres land for the future generations. Our neighbor is the world famous guanacaste conservation area and our project called Finca Los Wilas becomes a natural corridor to ensure the animals can safely displace and the site is preserved. This is closest rain forest from La Cruz area and the beaches of the north pacific of Costa Rica.
