Specialist guides bring your attention to the extreme amount of wildlife in Costa Rica’s Carara National Park.
Intensity: Light Located on the Central Pacific coast near the Tarcoles River and Jacó, Carara National Park offers a fascinating journey into one of Costa Rica’s most ecologically diverse protected areas. The park’s ecosystem bridges dry and humid forest, resulting in a wide variety of flora and fauna. Carara is one of the best places in the country to see scarlet macaws, and its accessible paved trails make it a great option for everyone. Aside from the wildlife, Carara is notable for fewer crowds compared to more famous parks, offering a more peaceful, educational, and highly memorable experience.

Accessible for everyone. Enjoy paved and universal-access trails suitable for all ages and abilities, allowing families, seniors, and those using wheelchairs or strollers to fully participate.
Expert local guides. Benefit from the knowledge of bilingual naturalist guides who bring the park’s wonders to life while ensuring you don’t miss secret wildlife hotspots or hidden forest gems.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
