Worth the time to walk through this national park. Trails are well maintained. Insect repellent is a must, and good shoes, binoculars, and water are also a must. In order to hike the entire trail system it takes at least a couple hours, that's not counting the time you will spend if you spot wildlife. While we there we saw multiple poison dart frogs. However, we were there later in the day, therefore we did not see a lot of wildlife. It is quite hot and humid at this park.…

Our tour company had pre booked us a Carara Reserve shared tour, but we were pleased to find that we were the only 2 sharing the tour. Our guide Walter was excellent, and he provided us with water and fruit as well as a very good tour. You do need to shell out $4 for the car park guard.…

We just completed a tour with Maurice Vasquez and would very highly recommend him as your tour guide. He is extremely knowledgable and pointed out all kinds of birds, animals and plants that we would never have seen by ourselves. He took us to two different parts of the park and also to a couple of locations outside the park. We saw about 30 species of birds, including a visit to a macaws nest, owls, trogons, hummingbirds, woodpeckers and dozens more. His love of nature is very evident and he is clearly passionate about giving you the very best nature experience possible. I would definitely recommend you to do yourself a favour and book a tour with Maurice.…

Maurice knows his birds and the Costa Rica Bird Guide inside and out. He went out of his was to make sure we saw as many endemic birds as possible. In our 3 hours with him we saw approximately 45 species of birds, 3 species of bats and White Faced Monkeys. He shared his knowledge about the plant life as well. In particular we wanted to see a few owls and he knew the places to find them. Maurice is enthusiastic about birding and ensured we were more than satisfied with our morning. Wonderful wonderful bird guide.…
