Description of Loma Quita Espuela... note it is also called a cloud forest!

This Reserve includes the most important rain and cloud forest in the country, and is the source of 60 streams that supply drinking water and water for irrigation to various cities in the region. It possesses great biological diversity to include serving as a refuge for important threatened species. FLQE's mission is to ensure balance between conservation and rational use of the Reserve's natural resources with the improvement of the quality of life of the communities that have ties to it.
