Carara Biological Reserve and National Park (4700 hectares) is a transition zone between dry tropical forest and the wetter regions to the south. It is watered by numerous rivers, the largest is the Tarcoles. During the rainy season, flooding, the Tarcoles create a large lagoon that quickly fills up.
Crocodiles and caimans are easily detectable with an abundance of wading birds. Coatis, peccaries, white-face capuchin, howler and spider monkeys, sloths and lazy can be found here along with a wide variety of plant life including fabulous heliconias.
Carara is one of the few nesting areas for the scarlet macaw. Throughout the day, the plows can always be heard and often seen in flight, especially around sunset. There are two paths. It begins at the main entrance and takes a short circular route, the other starts at 2 km and passes the lagoon.
