Downstream from El Castillo, heading out towards the Caribbean, the northern bank of the Rio San Juan forms part of the 3000-square-kilometre Reserva Biologica Indio Maiz , the largest nature reserve in Nicaragua - possibly in Central America. The climate here is very wet and hot, with the vast expanses of dense rainforest sheltering many species, including the elusive manatee, or sea cow, jaguars, tapirs, scarlet macaws, parrots and toucans. There is no real tourist infrastructure in the area; the usual way to see the Indio Maiz is from a boat on the Rio San Juan - travelling toward the Caribbean, much of the left-hand bank of the river is the reserve. The pristine Indio Maiz vegetation stands in sharp contrast with the Costa Rican side, where agriculture and logging have eroded the forest.
