Finca Luna Nueva Lodge

Farm Tour :Compost, garden, and farm animals

See what keeps our crops healthy, from our happy water buffalo to the wiggling worms in our compost. Begin by walking through our cacao orchard past our private reserve that is connected to the 50,000 acre Children's Eternal Rainforest via a biological corridor.

Next, stroll through our biointensive garden, where you will taste numerous plants and herbs, the same ones we serve daily in our restaurant. After the garden you will see our pigs, goats, and chickens and learn how they contribute to the sustainability of the farm.

Your tour will end at our composting area, where we will show you how our composting and biodynamic systems create a more fertile land for ourselves and for future generations.

Corridor Reforestation Project : In an effort to encourage the large mammals such as the jaguar and puma to return to healthy numbers in our forest, we have begun a project building biological corridors. Species which require a large area of forest to live and hunt happily can increase in numbers when they are not confined to a single area or altitude. Due to invasive human intervention much of their natural habitat has been divided.

While we can preserve our section of the rain forest, it won't be enough to preserve its creatures unless their natural habitat is extended. Come with us to this biological corridor and plant a tree to help us achieve our goal of connecting the 50 hectares of Luna Nueva's rain forest with the 22,500 hectares of The Children's Eternal Rain Forest. Our hope is that through planting trees that extend sections of the rain forest we can create protected corridors, enabling wildlife to travel through much larger areas.
