It is guaranteed to take your breath away.

Then, you will head to La Paz Waterfalls, where you will be introduced to an unknown world. Walking the splendid gardens, we find The Butterfly Observatory and the Hummingbird Gallery.

Never will you feel more a part of the splendor of the rainforest than hiking the trails alongside the river, and the most amazing waterfalls.

Carara National Park covers a low mountainous area of 15,000 acres with varying habitats as you travel from one terrain to the next.

Carara National Park is home to many mammals, as well as the rare Scarlet Macaw and a vast array of plant and tree species. Appreciate the wonders of this intricate eco-system as you walk along the footpaths observing the interesting transition between the Dry Tropical Forest and the Rainforest.

Keep your eyes out for the local wildlife as you may see several species of monkeys, birds, crocodiles, iguanas and frogs along the Tarcoles River.
