Just seven kilometers from Manglaralto, and just off the Ruta del Spondylus a few kilometers before reaching the surfing mecca of Montañita, this secluded community is known for the toquilla straw used in the hand-weaving of the misnamed Panama Hat, the creation of jewelry and trinkets from the tagua nut, and exploration and celebration of the beautiful coastal mountains and rivers surrounding Dos Mangas. Visitors to this area enjoy the warm-humid climate, conducive to exploring the more than 2,840 hectares that are part of the tropical rain forest and where ecological and tourist trails have been created. Hiking and horseback riding are the main tourism activities in the area, observing flora and fauna. Tourists are always fascinated by the presence of howler monkeys that play among the branches of the trees.

Located on a 2,200 square meter lot, the total construction size is 3,767 square feet. There are three main components of this large compound.
