Day 4: Visit to the Maíz Indian Reserve, we will go along the Bartola River, a river that forms the western edge of the Maíz Indio Reserve. This is located just 6 kilometers from the historic town of El Castillo, so visiting Indio Maíz during a trip to the town is a good option. It is worth mentioning that to enter the reserve the company of a guide is necessary. Generally, visitors hire one and organize transport from El Castillo, but it is also possible to hire one of the MARENA guards, who have a small station at the entrance of the reserve..

Within Indio Maíz there are two roads that are used to explore the area. These vary in length (from 2 km to 3.5 km) and time (2 to 2.5 hours at 3 to 3.5 hours). The wildlife is spectacular, and many of the animals of the tropics can be easily seen on these trails.

The other option to tour the area is to stay in a boat and navigate upstream. As the reserve is right next to the river, tourists can see the beautiful animals, especially birds, and the impressive jungle. The time to enter through the Bartola River is from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (it is possible to stay until later but not many people are authorized to enter after the established time).

Since Indio Maíz is a tropical rain forest, products such as repellents, strong boots and capes are necessary. The trips to the reserve can be organized with the guides of El Castillo or in the hotels of the town Boca de Sábalos.
