Guazuma ulmifolia, is commonly known as the West Indian elm or bay cedar, it is a medium-sized tree normally found in pastures and forests.
It can reach 30 m in height and 30 to 40 cm in diameter.

Guacimo is used as forage for cattle in the dry season. The immature fruits and leaves are fed to horses and cattle.

The crunchy, woody fruit and its seeds are edible raw or cooked and have a mild, sweet, honey/granola flavor that horses love.

A drink of crushed seeds soaked in water is used to treat diarrhea, dysentery, colds, coughs, bruises and venereal diseases. It is also used as a diuretic and an astringent.

Costa Rica is punctuated by two seasons: the dry season and the rainy season, more or less marked by the region. Here we are in tropical dry, which means:
- The dry season is from December to April. The landscape is dry, and resembles the savannah. The trees no longer have leaves, but beautiful flowers. There is no water. It is quite hot and the sun is shining. The nights offer superb starry skies.
- The rainy season begins in May until the end of November. Our rivers and waterfalls get full. The landscape offers all shades of green, and everything grows. Nature is flourishing, wild. It is cooler, it rains in the evenings or on certain days. Boots are recommended.

Each season transforms the landscape and its resulting experience.
