    Unveil the complex ecology of the flora and fauna at the Rainforest of Carara National Park. We will hike through the National Park Trails ranging from secondary forest to primary and old-growth forest. The canopy will reach more than 40m high with huge wild-cashew trees and figs watching us from above. This worldwide acclaimed destination for birdwatchers is also full of other vertebrates like mammals (monkeys, agoutis, deers...), amphibians, reptiles, and a myriad of invertebrates dwelling on the forest litter. You will be in the shoes of an XVIII century naturalist, asking yourself important questions about nature, ecology and contemplating in-depth the magic of the tropics.

However, we will navigate the Tarcoles river mouth into a mangrove forest where the wetlands will show us all their biodiversity and hopefully start changing the fate of this wonderful place.

Our guide Rigo was a nice and very driven guide and had a lot of knowledge about the animals we spotted. His enthusiasm made the day insanely educational and fun. We have spotted several species of birds, monkeys, a deer, a wild boar a snake a bat, green poison frogs and large spiders. He could tell a lot about this as a biologist. After that we went sailing on the river and we spotted several large crocodiles and enjoyed sailing through the mangroves. The day ended with a delicious lunch, then a nice smoothie drunk at an amazing viewpoint in the mountains. For us it was a very nice experience to get to know the rainforest and would recommend this trip to anyone.

I enjoyed my tour with Eduardo! We saw a lot of good wildlife on this trip, including monkeys, bats, spiders, and birds. The river boat tour was also great and it allowed me to explore an ecosystem that I hadn't yet visited in Costa Rica.

David was my tour guide for this tour; since I was the only one registered for the tour, it was even private. Communication with David and the organizer was super easy and worked via WhatsApp. Since the crocodile tour depends on the tides, we did that first. On the way, I had the opportunity to pick up breakfast in a small shop. The crocodile tour was super interesting, and I learned a lot about these creatures. Afterwards, David also showed me the plants on the grounds. After the crocodile tour, we went to the national park; the animals there are amazing. I was lucky enough to see several different species of birds (David really has a passion for birds), and in addition to the birds, I also saw a coati, bat, frog, and white bat. I would definitely recommend the tour; I felt incredibly safe and looked after.
