DESCRIPTION:

At only 40 minutes from the Pier, Carara is a perfect introduction to tropical rainforest. The Carara National Park covers a low mountainous area of 4,700 hectares in a climate zone of transition from the dry north Costa Rican Pacific to the very humid coast of the south. It's a type of dry rain forest, where, in spite of the lushness of the vegetation, it has relatively clear undergrowth that makes it easy for a person to observe the abundant wildlife.

Some of the most easily seen birds are Macaws, parrots, parakeets, guans, toucans, ant-birds, trogons, tinamous, hummingbirds, wood-creepers, fly-catchers, kingfishers, raptors, vultures, pigeons, manakins, etc. The insect fauna is rich and spectacular: we can find here the Morpho butterfly, beetles of bright metallic colours, wasps and bees of many kinds, centipedes, leave cutter ants, and stick insects. Mammals are very abundant. The most commons to see are Coatis, White-faced Capuchin, Anteaters, agoutis, Squirrels and armadillos. You will spend approximately two hours exploring the trails under the canopy of giant trees, marveled at each step by the magnificence of the forest.

After this nature walk, we will drive a few kilometers to Jaco Town & Beach. Jacó has a large beach for enjoying sea and sun. Its proximity to San José makes it one of the most visited beaches in the country by both Costa Ricans and foreigners. Jacó offers one of the most extensive selections of tourist services in Costa Rica and many shopping facilities are available.

Stop at Jaco Beach Resort, where you will be able to enjoy all the facilities and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in front of the beach.
