About this tour

Where the dry forest
meets the rainforest.

Carara National Park is world-famous for one bird above all: the scarlet macaw. Sitting on the transition between the dry forests of the north and the rainforests of the south, Carara concentrates a remarkable mix of species – macaws, trogons, motmots, antbirds and toucans – in a single morning of birding.

Your ICT-licensed guide knows every corner of the trails and carries a Swarovski spotting scope, so you take home free 4K photos and videos plus a complete list of every bird seen during the tour. A traditional Costa Rican lunch is included on this full-day adventure.
