Overview
What you will be doing
The Caño Negro wildlife refuge
The refuge was declared a RAMSAR site in 1991 and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2007. The biodiversity of this site has attracted global attention for more than 35 years. It is possible to observe endangered wetland species such as the Jabirú bird, the Atlantic Tarpon, and the prehistoric Gaspar Fish. Due to its importance as a source of food and nesting, it is one of the best places in Costa Rica for bird watching.
Guatuso
Our tour begins by embarking in Guatuso, a rural town, from where we navigate the riverbed to the Caño Negro Refuge, where an experienced guide will show you various species such as sloths, three types of monkeys, caimans, lizards, bats, birds, and a variety of flora typical of wetlands. At the end of this boat safari tour, our last stop will be at the house of Don Abelino and Doña Wendy where we will share a traditional lunch to learn more about the culture and especially Costa Rican gastronomy
