Made up of 4,700 hectares, Carara has been under protection since 1978, This reserve works much the same as others in Costa Rica and was created specifically to protect prime forest environment, In this case, Carara is made up of dry forest and wet tropical forest. The park lies straddling two life zones thereby possessing an enormous diversity of wildlife. There are two main trails through the park and both afford you a pleasurable hike. The trails are easy and safe providing a great experience for visitors traveling with children. Guides are available at the park entrance and ensure good information and experienced eyes for spotting animals and birds. The only equipment necessary is insect repellent and a hat for the less shady portions of the trail. Binoculars are a must. |
