Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge
Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge
In a remote area of the north lies the large, swampy, wildlife mecca, Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. It’s a long drive (124 km/77 miles north of Ciudad Quesada), but of huge interest for dedicated eco-travelers, naturalists and birders. A large lake covers much of the 9,969-hectare/ 24,623-acre park; most sightseeing is done by boat. Arrange your visit with La Fortuna agencies, listed on page 199. The best time to visit here is the rainy season – more water means more birds.
