Carara National Park is a beautiful experience with easy walkways that allow you to see birds, monkeys, and the spectacular Macaw's. Recommend to go on a guided tour guide that will point out the many beautiful sights and sounds.
A HUGE THANK YOU to David who shared his passion of all things Costa Rica, from history, to flora and fauna, to the ability to spot birds, ants, and monkeys. And truly loved he was able to call to the birds by knowing their sounds!

The experience was great by having a nature and wildlife focused tour, with a specialist as Rigo, which allowed us to see a lot of beautiful birds, monkeys and crocs, while learning a lot from plants and vegetation as well. Overall it was a great experience that I would hands down do again!

Eduardo was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and his English was excellent. We essentially had a private tour of the jungle and joined a small group for the river portion. I would highly recommend Oropopo Experience Tours!
