Overview

Carara stands out in its inclusion features, being the first National Park of Costa Rica with an universal trail.
The Carara National Park, which in the Huetar indigenous language means “River of Crocodiles”, has the only transitional forest in the Central Pacific, which translates into diversity of flora and fauna, where species of dry and humid forests converge .

This National Park is a world-renowned ornithological destination since it has a very diverse bird fauna, where the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) stands out, a species that is in danger of extinction, being the second largest species of Psittacines in Costa Rica.
