We found the area around Hostal Asturias to be quite safe and the locals incredibly welcoming. When exploring Humedal de Villa María, we advise sticking to marked paths and being mindful of the terrain, especially near water.

While birding is the main draw, Hostal Asturias can help arrange local boat trips on the wetlands, offering a different perspective on the ecosystem.
