Mauricio Gutierrez, a good friend of the previous owner wanted to buy the land in order to turn the area into a conservation project due to its location in Costa Rica important biological corridor which protects around 70% of the flora and fauna.
In 1993, in the middle of the purchasing transaction, Mauricio tragically passed away. His wife and two kids left the U.S to go back to Costa Rica with the challenging task of fulfilling Mauricio?s dream.
