The Matapalo area is recognized for its sustainability initiatives, as most of the lodges and cabins rely on solar energy. The beaches in the area received the Blue Ecological Flag for not disturbing the nature of the area surrounding Matapalo and minimizing the carbon footprint of those visiting and living in the area. The Playa Matapalo area includes secluded, untouched beaches with abundant plant life and animal activity, including howler monkeys and various birds.[2] Cabo Matapalo is also home to tourist attractions such as Corcovado National Park, King Louis Waterfall, and Canilooeters Island, an island 20 km off the mainland used mainly for fishing.[3]
