Our Story
El Amargal Reserva Natural, Surf & Ecoturismo
El Amargal is a unique place in the region. It was born in 1990 as a place dedicated to scientific research for the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources, in the Gulf of Tribugá. Its owner, Mr. Yasmin Martínez Córdoba, is native from Arusi, the Afro community closest to El Amargal Natural Reserve. Visiting El Amargal, you not only have the opportunity to discover the paradisiacal place in which we are located, but also have access to experiences in nature enriched with the biological knowledge generated throughout our trajectory of scientific work. At the same time, you become a protector of nature and culture, supporting a local conservation proyect.
