What You Will Do
Carara stands out in its inclusion features, being the first National Park of Costa Rica with a 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 a 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.
