The exhilarating wildlife of the area includes jaguars, scarlet macaws and Bairs's tapirs.. On the Osa, the wildlife is known to make use of it's wider landscape, Dos Brazos is no exception to this, the primary and secondary forest areas surounding the national park such as our forest farm, Descanso La Pizota hold wonderful opportunities for visitors to submerse themselves in depths of nature.

Upon arrival at Descanso La Pizota you will be welcomed by a challenging yet stimulating hike, you'll break a sweat, but worry not, the beautiful waterfall on the way up is the perfect place to cool yourself down. This is the first of the treks we offer you; the hostel provides its guests with 30 kilometers of trails which you can saunter a leisurely, keeping an eye out for the wildlife and bird-watching or hike for a quicker pace if your fitness is your priority.

Finally we provide you with a guided tour of the goldmine. This is a rare opportunity which will offer first-hand insight into the lives of the local people of Dos Brazos and it's tumultuous history.
