The ranch is in part primary and secondary jungle with stables full of horses, cattle, llamas,donkeys, goats, and pigs. The surrounding tropical cloud forest is rich in flora and fauna, and birdlife is prolific. The hacienda is at an elevation of 1,200 m (approximately 3,500 ft). The cloud forest is extremely lush, with a high biomass and an abundance of epiphytic orchids, bromeliads,ferns, and mosses. The tree canopy can reach between 25 and 30 m high, (75 to 90 ft high).Indigenous tribes living near the ecolodge are historically called the Aguases. Archaeological findings in and around the hacienda date to more than 400 years old. The nearby villages are populated with montaneros, indigenous people with a visible Spanish colonial ancestry.Montaneros are the modern day cowboys, highly experienced in horses, ranching, and farming.
