Wonderful park for birding and seeing other animals like monkeys and mammals. Our guide had a telescope with her so we could see some animals in detail. Thank you for the amazing day.
Bryan Thomas
We did Manuel Antonio and Carara parks. Carara is bigger and has more species on display. We saw monkeys, alligators, and birds including macaws and toucans. Rocio was great and knowledgeable.
Debbie Walker
Carara National Park is an awesome place to visit because of its location in a transition zone, and it's nature is phenomenal. They provide the tickets. Definitely recommend the tour!

We booked several tours with this company and we couldn’t be happier. We did both Manuel Antonio and Carara tours as well as the aerial tram tour and white water rafting tours. All of the staff and guides were knowledgeable and professional. We even made a change of plans on the day of one of our tours and we were accommodated exactly as we wanted.
