TOUR DESCRIPTION: At only
40 minutes from the Pier, Carara is a perfect introduction
to tropical forest. 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. Puntarenas shore

Mammals are very abundant. The most
commons to see are Coatis, White-faced Capuchin, Anteaters,
agoutis, Squirrels and armadillos. Carara protects important
archaeological sites. Huetar-culture graves are being studied
and beautiful stone, pottery and gold objects have been
found in the park.
You will spend approximately three hours exploring the trails
under the canopy of giant trees, marvelled at each step
by the magnificence of the forest. Them we will drive a
few kilometrers to Hotel Amapola in Jaco Beach, where you will have access to all their facilities with an All Inclusive Service (lunch and drinks). After lunch there
will be two hours for relax and enjoy the resort and the beach.
