Savegre River

Savegre River

Carara is one of the most popular parks in Costa Rica, largely due to its proximity to San Jose. This is also where many cruise lines are carried by a trip to a day when the cruise ships that stop just off the coast of Puerto Caldera, and a common destination for school trips.

It is always hot and humid forest of Carara. Even during the driest season of late December through April, when it rains a lot less sweat prevents moisture under the cover near saturation. The wettest months are August and October, when the trails near the river can sometimes be impassable due to flooding.

Carara is also a favorite among bird watchers. Carara has fauna and flora ecosystems (dry tropical forest region in the north and tropical Pacific rain forest to the south), and the virgin forest that covers the park is the perfect venue for rare wildlife like macaws Collared Aracari red tea and monkey species.

150 scarlet macaws nest and feed throughout the reserve and usually can be seen at dusk flying west along the Tarcoles River to coastal mangroves where they roost at night.

What to bring: long pants, hiking shoes, camera, insect repellent and water.
