The hikes along the ecological trails at this site allow one to be in direct contact with nature and contribute to its conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to this place, you must travel about 150 kilometers from Santa Cruz city to the northern sector of the Amboro National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (ANMI). It is important to take into account that the trip, either on your own or with a tour operator (recommended), must be done in a 4×4 vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on where you enter this place (Porongo or Buena Vista), after a short journey on pavement road from Santa Cruz city, a narrow dirt road appears, and some small houses with jatata roofs, citrus groves, and some cattle ranches are spotted. On the way, the adventure begins by crossing the Surutu River, which in the rainy season becomes torrential.<\/p>

This site is suitable for all audiences. From adventure lovers to those looking for just a bit of peace and leisure in the middle of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the more relaxed audience natural trails are found here that lead to discovering timber trees, wild fruit trees and coffee and citrus production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure lovers can opt for tours through the jungle, passing through rivers that end in waterfalls over 90 meters high and natural pools with crystalline waters. For this, it is advisable to use special trekking shoes because the walks can last between four and eight hours, depending on the chosen trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For safety, all the tours must be carried out with local guides accompaniment, who also explain everything that is on the way, such as healing plants, footprints, and animal shelters, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Villa Amboro ecotourism project also provides food services based on local products and the type of products that customers require (with prior coordination), lodging in camping areas and rest rooms. Rustic wooden cabins are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
