Reserva Biológica Río Bigal

The Oriente


Río Bigal welcomes visitors interested in a purely back-to-nature experience (three-night minimum), and those who wish to get their hands dirty in participatory research are also welcome, with a minimum commitment of seven days when opportunities are available. All stays include accommodation, full board, activities, night walks and mule porter for the hike in. Reservations are essential.

Transport via 4WD from Loreto (one hour) is not included. Volunteer opportunities for construction or education work are also available; contact the reserve for specifics.
