The Great Green Macaw Sanctuary is a 268 ha crossed right in the middle by the river we explore floaring, where is possible to see hauler, white face & spider monkeys, coaties, caimans, turtles, toucans and of course the endangered Great Green Macaw; a place where people and nature found the way to coexist in harmony. Owned and protected by a self-sustainer agricultural cooperative this place gives you an authentic rural experience in which you can plant a tree, visit the school & high school, go biking or horse back riding or simply visit the people & talk about the experience & their history.
