The soils are predominantly latosoles clay. The levels of organic matter are generally high as a result of the prevailing vegetation, and is slightly acidic. There are also - though very few - hydromorphic soils belonging to the group of gley - and humic planosoles. It is part of an area inside the Gaza Protection Reservoir in which preliminary studies have demonstrated the need for the area to be integrated into the program since it possesses unique characteristics. Conservation is very important to preserve the area from Mbaracayu Biological Reserve until Tatí Yupí Refuge. The climate is subtropical, with abundant and well distributed rainfall, ranging from 1,500 to 1,700 millimeters per year.
