The Golfito wildlife refuge is located in an area where heavy rains are plentiful. This land was formed by the succession of layers of basalt dating from between 50 to 65 million years.
The forest is the refuge is very thick, a plant commonly grown in these lands is the Black Palm. You can also find botanical rarities such as chiral (Carydaphnopsis burgeri), a tree belonging to the family Lauraceae, a very primitive plant.
There are many mammals living within the park boundaries, such as the agouti, a rodent belonging to the same family of the bale, very useful to spread the seeds of different plants and fruits you eat. You can also find raccoons, rats and some reptiles like snakes and toads.
