This area contains many species of fruiting and flowering trees, including high numbers of Myrtaceae, Saptaceae and Lauraceae, the latter being a major food source for migrating Frugivores such as the endangered resplendent Quetzal and the Three-wattled bellbird. Some of the largest trees in the area are located here, including many massive Ficus tuerckheimii, Ficus crassiuscula, Persea americana and Citharexylum, many reaching heights of thirty to forty meters. Due to high exposure to wind driven mists, Orhidaceae, Bromeliaceae and epiphytic ferns are found in high numbers. Bird species witnessed throughout this forest include the Resplendent Quetzal, Orange-bellied trogon, parrots, several tanager species, Three-wattled bellbird, Toucan, White Hawk, and a pair of nesting Ornate Hawk Eagles. Mammals include Howler and White-faced monkeys, Tayra, Nine-Banded Armadillo, and Collared Peccary. Tracks and sign from Bairds Tapir, Mountain lion, Ocelot and Marguay have been observed within as well. Multiple tracks, believed to be Jaguar have also been documented within this corridor. The original Aula Global Biological Reserve is located at the terminus of this old growth forest corridor.
