This tour starts early in the morning and includes breakfast. You will drive
through the superb Avocado Mountains to arrive at the Central Pacific lowlands.
You will see beautiful countryside and mountain landscapes.
Before arriving at the reserve, the tour will stop at the bridge over the Tarcoles
River to see the crocodiles. After this you will have an easy hike around the
Carara Reserve for about 2 hours. Your english speaking guide will give you
explanations of the natural history and will point out the interesting shy animals
to be seen in this forest. If you are lucky, you may see toucans, monkeys, iguanas,
coatimundis and sometimes the scarlet macaws! Carara is a very special site
because it houses the second most important population of scarlet macaws in
the country and also it protects a unique transition forest between dry tropical
forest and a wet tropical forest. After this you will have lunch in a nearby
town, where you can relax and enjoy the beach for a while. In the afternoon
you will come back to San Jose using the same road.
