The trail is set in a quiet location near the ocean with open pastures, a stream, and primary and secondary forests.

High-quality binoculars and spotting scopes are on hand to enrich the experience. Scarlet macaws, toucans, woodpeckers, kingfishers, parrots, and king vultures are but a few of the resident bird species often sighted and who share the treetops with monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and other creatures.
