Ojo de Agua is in an area at the edge of a plain heavily used for agriculture - mostly sugarcane. The low mountains are covered with mature forest - slopes moderately steep ~45°, very rocky - which comes down to the river and borders the cane fields. I set 80 traps here, as did Duke. First line is in a very rocky hillside, then in the secondary growth alongside the trail leading from the rd. to the spring.
