The tour through the Eco-Observatory was ran by David Ramirez, who along with his father, have owned the property for 25 years.  David holds a degree in Environmental Studies and moved to Costa Rica 4 years ago to start his business.  The Eco-Observatory is composed of different trails which allow the up-close view of different frogs, birds, trees and other species in their natural habitat.
The family's reforestation efforts and the fact that the site neighbors a reserve, the Eco-Observatory is home to approximately 220 bird species.
The Eco-Observatory has been in operation for 1 year and their reforestation efforts and community outreach have earned them a National Geographic destination title.
