With an extension of 95 hectares, Los Nacimientos offers singular tropical ecosystems harbouring great quantities of unique species of flora and fauna. 

This area is located within a natural space that must be conserved; due to its characteristics tourism is low impact or ecotourism oriented, and focused on adventure tourism due to the variety of risk activities that can be carried out.
