Sierpe offers a great opportunity to see two habitats intertwining: Mangrove and Riparian forest. This combination creates the perfect condition for many kinds of creatures that utilize the area as a breeding, feeding, roosting and sheltering site. The Terraba-Sierpe Wetland protects nearly 25,000 hectares, making it the second largest in Central America. It is also a Ramsar Site; protected since 1994 and recognized as a wetland of international importance in 1995 by Ramsar convention. Costa Rica is the Central American country with the most Ramsar sites, 12 in total.
