This small nature reserve right on the edge of town is the scene of one of Jardín's most impressive natural sights. Early each morning and again in the evening numerous gallitos de las rocas (cocks-of-the-rock) fly in to screech, dance and show off their brilliant red plumage in an attempt to impress the ladies of the species. Call Luís to book your visit.
