If you dream of spotting species like the scarlet macaw, then Carrara is the perfect place for you.

Located in Costa Rica’s Central Pacific region, Carara National Park is a true natural haven spanning 5,242 hectares—perfect for biodiversity enthusiasts, nature photographers.

Its privileged location along the transition zone between dry forest and tropical rainforest makes it a unique ecological hotspot, offering visitors the chance to experience Costa Rica’s natural richness all in one place.

For birdwatching enthusiasts, these forests are home to 48% of all bird species found in Costa Rica. This renowned natural sanctuary is one of the best spots to observe birds such as trogons, jacamars, antbirds, migratory species, raptors, toucans, and many others. But the true star of the show is the vibrant scarlet macaw —a breathtaking sight no bird lover should miss.

Upon arrival at the park, you’ll be welcomed by a certified naturalist guide equipped with a professional telescope and binoculars, who will accompany you throughout the tour. You’ll feel like a pro photographer as you capture stunning images through the telescope lens with your phone.

The excursion includes visits along various trails—including, weather permitting, the Meandering Lagoon Trail. This unique lagoon was naturally formed by former curves of the Tárcoles River, which, over time, became separated from the main flow, creating a vibrant wetland ecosystem teeming with life.

In case of weather changes, we will have the option to visit other areas of Carrara.
