to swim with locals since they are familiar with the river and are aware of the quick changes in tides depending on the location. Also the river is known to have caimans. The Catarata « El Chorro »: The entrance of the waterfall is accessible from the main road towards the km 37 and is the perfect place to calm down and enjoy the nature and fresh water coming from the mountains. Tourists pay 1000 colons ($2 US), but this is definitively worthwhile. This is almost heaven. Piedras Blancas National Park: The park is home to one of the richest fauna and flora of Costa Rica. Despite low frequentation, the visit is worthwhile and even more attractive given its authenticity. This park is known for its enormous trees known as “Ceiba” and its biodiversity. A three-hour tour can be available and it can also be visited without. Austrian field station: The station was born in 1993 from a partnership between the Austrian NGO “Rainforest of the Austrians” and the University of Vienna in order to study and protect the biodiversity of the Esquinas forest. El Mirador (belvédère): The access is limited since the road crosses a private property; however with the right contacts in the village and preparation it is possible to climb it and be surprised by a splendid view of the Golfito region. Horse riding: A family in the village owns a few horses and offers tours as horses are part of the village's landscape. The Asociación Pro-Bienestar (ASOPROBI) This organization was created in July 1996 to replace the previous organization COOPEGAMBA in order to find alternatives to the development of the village. ASOPROBI works in harmony with its natural environment, which is in fact its major wealth. The final goal of the organization is the creation of employment in the village and the promotion of sustainable and local tourism. The village has a lot to offer and ASOPROBI wishes to promote it. All the participants are volunteers and change every few years, except for Jose Angel Montiel Franco, who works permanently organizing multiple activities and administrating the budget. The direction is formed of the president, vice-president, secretary, and the fiscal administrator. Between 2004 and 2009, Plan Nagua, a Canadian organism, and ASOPROBI have collaborated in order to send groups of interns that have contributed to the development of the community through different projects.
