    This place has built and rehabilitated trails, agricultural crops of bananas, citrus, and livestock of small species such as chickens, chickens, and fish, which facilitates the supply of food, the intention is to make it a self-sustaining territory. The forests are diverse due to their fauna (birds, monkeys, squirrels, worms, armadillos, porcupines, foxes, among others). During the flora tour, endemic species of timber were found, among them: ribs, sangredrago, smoked, syringa, balsam, cart.
