Activities
Due to the close proximity to the National Park and the village of La Gamba, exciting excursions can be made. For this purpose we have compiled some half and full day tours that can be undertaken directly from the station.
These include activities such as horseback riding, hiking, river walks, night hikes, visits to various projects (e. g. Corredor Biológico La Gamba - COBIGA), hikes to waterfalls and much more!
Feel free to contact us upon arrival and we can arrange these excursions on site...
