The reserve is surrounded by other protected areas. It adjoins Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve on the north, Warunta National Park and Rus Rus Biological Reserve on the east, and Patuca National Park on the west and southwest. The Coco River forms the southeastern boundary of the reserve, where it adjoins Bosawás Biosphere Reserve in Nicaragua.[1]
