More than 500 hectares
The mountains of San Gerardo de Dota welcomed us and made us their own. Today it is our turn to give back all they have given us, which is why at Savegre we make every effort to care for and protect them.
Within the reserve you will find our Siwö lookout, whose position brings you closer to both the sky and the earth.

Savegre River
The Savegre river rises in the Talamanca mountain range and runs through our reserve before dropping to the Pacific.
Its basin forms part of the biosphere reserve declared by UNESCO.
This river traced our past, nourishes our present and flows towards the future with hope. We owe ourselves to it, and together we care for it.

A shared home
