The experience

My name is Emilio Gonzalez.
My family has owned this estate since 1928. Today, it is dedicated to the conservation of the primary forest, and we carry out sustainable plantations.
Our farm is located just 1,400 meters from the beach and the supermarket (a 25-minute walk).
I hope to have travelers who are interested in sharing with our family and enjoying what we have in our Forest House.
