    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.

    Tarcoles river is regarded as the most polluted River basin in Central America, one recognition that we costaricans feel very ashamed of. 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.

My friend and I were the only ones on this tour with Rigo and had an excellent experience. He picked us up on time in a very comfortable vehicle. He shared interesting information about the animals we saw in Carara National Park, and the Crocodile Safari gave us the chance to see many bird species and get close to the main attraction, the crocodiles. The food was great at where we stopped for lunch, and Rigo even took us for smoothies and drinks to a restaurant with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and Nicoya Peninsula. It was a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour.

This tour was incredible! Carara National Park was beautiful — we saw scarlet macaws, monkeys, and so much amazing wildlife. The Tárcoles River boat ride was a real highlight, especially getting to see the huge crocodiles up close in their natural habitat. Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, and everything was really well-organized from start to finish. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in Costa Rica. Highly recommend!
