As our journey begins, we are welcomed by the spectacular flora and fauna of the mangrove and the tropical dry forest, at the Guanacaste Costa Rica conservation area.
Rancho Humo is a private reserve of 2640 acres located at the heart of a major conservation area, which includes Palo Verde National Park, Corral de Piedra wildlife refuge and others for a total surface of 61800 acres. The ecosystems part of Rancho Humo have been subject to restoration with the intent of returning the landscapes to their natural habitat that was altered by men.
The largest transformation effort has been made to the wetlands that had been drained for years to be used for farming purposes. Today wetlands maintain water levels that enable them to develop and strengthen the ecosystem due to the use of proper water management techniques.
