Among the proposed activities: excursions to the main ecological sites and cultures within the reserve and around Guatuso, discovery of fauna and flora, walks along trails in the primary forest, participation in the indigenous ceremonies of the Maleku, discovery of their culture and medicinal plants.
On the reserve, the community launched a program of reforestation of trees and flowers. In addition, the population applies to conserve the natural habitat of animal species, including toxic frogs in the process of extinction.Minimizing impact: waste is sorted, given to animals or processed into manure. All the people who work there belong to the community. At the arrival of every tourist, $ 1 is paid in a joint fund dedicated to the Maleku community.
Handcrafted products made by residents are sold in the reserve information centre.
