Itinerary

Carara National Park

Carara National Park is definitely one of the best birding sites in Costa Rica. Located about 1 ½ hours north from Manuel Antonio and Quepos. The geographic position of the area make its forest to be transition zone regarding the weather, where the tropical rain-forest meets the dry forest. This makes Carara National Park to be a perfect spot for both rain-forest and some dry-forest species, gathering different habitats such as primary and secondary rain forest, gallery forest, thickets, grasslands, rivers and others, simply a must visit to any birder coming to Costa Rica. The main target species at this park would be Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, Antbirds, Tinamous, Trogons, Manakins, Motmots, Jacamars and many other unique or endemic Costa Rican species. Our birding adventure to Carara National Park starts with an early pickup at your hotel. To this tour you can add the visit to the Tarcoles River (2 hours birding along the river) upon your personal request.

Great trip with Maurice. He is super knowledgeable about all the species encountered in the park. Furthermore, he also drove around with us outside the park to spot some animals which we did not have a chance to see during the park walk.
