Nayara grounds are bursting with wildlife. You can spot sloths and monkeys on our trails, or join a bird-watching walk at dawn.

Our trails are teeming with tropical plants and exotic flowers, from heliconias and orchids to cacao and plantain trees. Our Armadillo Trail showcases fruit trees on both sides of the winding path.
