Just 15 miles from Jaco Beach and Los Suenos lies Carara National Park, an often-overlooked gem brimming with natural wonders. While less famous than its sister park, Manuel Antonio, Carara spans over twice the area, offering 52 square kilometers of pristine Costa Rican biodiversity.
Unlike the smaller Manuel Antonio, Carara National Park features extensive primary rainforest. A guided hike through this dense, vibrant ecosystem with one of our certified Naturalist Guides promises an authentic eco-adventure.
Carara National Park safeguards the Rio Tarcoles and hosts an impressive array of rare bird species. Our expert guides will help you spot everything from exotic parrots and hummingbirds to jacamars, parakeets, and stunning water birds like herons and kingfishers. Notably, Carara is home to Costa Rica’s largest remaining population of wild scarlet macaws.
Your private tour begins with a VIP pickup from your Los Suenos or Jaco hotel or condo. A brief drive north brings you to Carara National Park, where your adventure truly starts.
As you hike quietly through Carara, the park’s rich wildlife gradually reveals itself. Beyond the vibrant birdlife, you might encounter American crocodiles, poison dart frogs, deer, peccaries, red brockets, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and both two-toed and three-toed sloths.
Your certified Naturalist Guide will lead you through the lush primary rainforest on an exclusive journey of discovery. To cap off your exhilarating tour of Carara National Park, we’ll treat your group to a delicious, authentic Costa Rican lunch.
