Strategic Value
This property has the most charismatic waterfall and deepest swimming hole in the entire river basin - hence the name "Cascada Grande." The waterfall is a lovely 40-minute hike from the Bamboo House, along a trail that mostly follows the Camarones River. Most of the property is forested. It is a key buffer area to the main core of the Jama-Coaque Reserve.
Carbon Benefit
Sponsoring the acquisition of this property and continuing to conserve it over the long term has a net carbon benefit of 325.8 tons of CO2 each year. That is equivalent to 148 flight hours of a Cessna Citation XLS or 36,660 gallons of gasoline consumed.
