Curu Wildlife Reserve Tours
Tours through the Curu Wildlife Reserve
Curu Wildlife Refuge was founded by Federico Schutt, a visionary who came to the area in 1933 to develop this beatiful piece of land with the idea of managing natural resources in a rational and controlled way, so it could become a self-sustainable area. Today, his sons continue the work, including Luis Schutt, one of the founders of Turismo Curu.
Curú currently has an area of 1500 hectares of which 85% is protected forest and wild life. The rest is use for cattle and agriculture in combination with wild life management. Within the area you can see different types of habitats such as grasslands, dry forest, evergreen forest, wetlands, plantations and other large number of options for animals to feed and reproduce.
The remaining 15% of the area is intended for different activities:
-
Reforestation and harvesting of mature trees - Agriculture
