Explore Guanacaste’s phenomenal Palo Verde National Park. Travel along the deep, slow-moving Bebedero River, which crosses the dry Pacific savannas. From the boat, watch a fabulous array of wild birds and a myriad of creatures such as howler monkeys, green iguanas and coatis. You may also have the opportunity to spot others exotic animals such as anteaters and crocodiles basking in the ::sunshine.

Palo Verde National Park is dramatic in its diversity: mangroves, swamps, swamp forests, saltwater and freshwater lagoons, marshes, and both deciduous and evergreen forests where the characteristic Palo Verde or Horse Bean grows.

The park provides shelter for a great variety of birds: the American Woodstock, the Roseate Spoonbill, the Boat-billed Heron, the Tiger Heron and the Tropical Kingbird, to mention a few. During the trip, you may spot birds from the boat while your guide turns you into an excellent bird watcher and teaches you to differentiate their calls. An exceptional experience.
