Wir haben den Nationalpark Carara mit Maurice Vázquez besucht und können ihn nur wärmstens empfehlen. Er brennt für seine Arbeit und hat ein unglaubliches Wissen. Außerdem spricht er fließend Deutsch. Maurice hatte ein Vogelbuch dabei, in dem er uns jeden Vogel zeigte, den wir gesehen haben. Er kennt das ganze Buch auswendig. Absolut beeindruckend! Mit ihm haben wir rote Aras, Kolibris, Pfeilgiftfrösche, ein Faultier, Brüllaffen und vieles mehr gesehen. Maurice nimmt sich Zeit und zeigt euch die Tiere, die ihr sehen wollt. Er bietet auch Nachttouren und Touren durch weitere Nationalparks Costa Ricas an.

In order to enjoy this park you need a good guide. We were lucky to have an excellent guide, Geovanna from G@R Adventures. She spent with us over 3 hours in which we were able to see: monkeys, a sloth, macaws, and other birds, spiders (including Taratula), frogs, and lizards. The main attraction was to watch the magnificent macaws. Geovanna knew exactly where to find them.

We enjoyed a couple hours hiking in this CR national park on our way to our primary destination in the Puntarenas Province near Dominical. We stopped as it was on the way from San Jose and were eager to start seeing huge rainforest trees and wildlife. You purchase your tickets online and they are inexpensive, around $10 USD each.
The trails were easy walks with some of it paved or at least well marked. There were several platforms for viewing, rotting away and in disrepair, and some muddy trails, but it is a rainforest after all.
We saw several poison dart frogs, lizards, iguanas, leaf cutter ants, centipedes and most of the wildlife at the river where we saw several white faced capuchin monkeys and an agouti (looks like a giant gerbil).

Booked entrance tickets prior to arrival because that's the only way in. Met at the gate by the "next guide in line." Got lucky and had a great guide. Best thing we saw was a black & green poison frog. And we actually saw 3 of them during the hike. But NO macaws. Supposedly we were here in the wrong season. The macaws are now down on the beaches. Just FYI.
Having been on MANY hikes in several different national parks in Costa Rica, we didn't really see anything new here. But we've renamed this park "Mosquito National Park" because we were eaten alive. We had on long sleeves & long pants + mosquito repellent, but we were hounded by mosquitos the entire time.
Not our favorite park -- but at least it wasn't crowded. And the guides you can pick up at the entrance are all knowledgeable, licensed, and helpful. Can't imagine going through here without a guide -- would have missed soooo much!

Got in touch with Maurice (whatsapp +50688896061) two days before my intented visit to the park. Super quick and easy communication and arrangement. When I got to the park, Antonio (one of Maurice's guys) was waiting for me, and together with a sweet couple we set out onto the trail. We saw sooo many animals thanks to Antonio's sharp eyes and knowledge of preferred spots. Two types of toucans, two types of bats, woodpecker, lizards of all sizes, poisonous frogs, monkeys, deer, various other birds, agutis and even puma tracks. To top it all off he took us to Tarcoles to see Macaws. Got amazing pictures of the animals.
Make sure to order the entrance ticket to the park online. I forgot but they were kind enough to help me there.
After reading of daily crowds at Manuel Antonio, I settled for Carara. So glad I did, because we only passed about 4 other couples during our 3h in the park.

Carara National Park is an awesome place to visit because of its location in a transition zone. The AirBnB host arranged a tour with Jeison Hernandez, Birding and Nature Tours, and he was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable about the park and history, its inhabitants and the trees, plants, fungi, etc. In addition to hearing a streak-chested antpitta bird and a couple of toucans, we saw them, too! We saw a fer-de-lance pit viper snake, a ghost bat, a variety of mushrooms, a number of strangler figs, and much more during the three hour tour. Definitely recommend a tour with Jeison.

La prima è l'ultima parte del sentiero purtroppo danno troppo sulla strada e quindi si sentono rumori di macchine a tir che rovinano decisamente l'atmosfera. Addentrarsi ci si sente più nella natura, una bella foresta, I sentieri le staccionate e i punti panoramici andrebbero sistemati perché oramai decandenti. Ad ogni modo pura vida! Guardia parchi simpatici e disponibili a raccontare le loro esperienze e a dare buoni consigli. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto fare il 2° sentiro distante 2 km dall"ingresso causa troppa pioggia c'erano punti completamente allagati quindi non avendo gli stivali abbiamo dovuto rinunciare.

Maurice Vasquez hat uns eine einzigartige Zeit im Nationalpark ermöglicht. Er spricht fließend deutsch und hat uns als Familie hervorragend durch den Park geführt. Auch für Kinder nie langweilig, immer herzlich und sympathisch, informativ, mit viel Humor. Wenn ihr ein bisschen intensiver sucht, findet ihr auch seine Telefonnummer.
Er hat sogar alle unsere Wünsche erfüllt (Ara, Tucan..) und hat uns danach noch in eine tolle Soda begleitet. Alles in allem hat sich jeder Dollar gelohnt.

WOW! Couldn't get into Manuel Antonio National Park so ended up here. How fortuitous! So few people. Our guide, Antonio, was worth 10 times the price we paid. He found green frogs, a white-winged bat, deer, scarlet macaws. Then we ran around chasing the rustling of monkeys. We saw howler monkeys and about 20 spider monkeys swinging above us with babies. Antonio spent an extra 30 minutes with us so we could also see white-faced monkeys. Got up close with them. A nature experience of a lifetime. If it weren't for Antonio, I probably would have only seen a lot of trees. Best money ever spent.

Hi, I believe all National Parks are open every day of the year subject to any new Covid restrictions & operate under 50% capacity currently but don't waste your time, all you are likely to see is trees, very bad park & questionable staff. Gave a very bad impression to me. Best regards

For scarlet macaws a beach up the road was mentioned, can someone tell me which that was for us to go and see if we can spot any? Thanks

The animals are completely wild. It sure spiraled to me that whether you saw anything specific was never guaranteed.

Buenas tardes,
Quería preguntar sobre el parque nacional de Carara. Queríamos saber si hay guías locales que se puedan contratar en el parque, o si por el contrario tiene que hacerse todo a través de empresas de turismo con sus propios guías.
Muchas gracias por su ayuda,
Silvia y Javier
Alguien tiene el número de teléfono de un guía para parque Carara, hay uno que habla varios idiomas . Gracias

Is this national park on a dirt track? If so what sort of distance from the main/paved road please? We didn't rent an suv or 4x4. Thanks

You do not need an SUV to visit Carara. The entrance to the park is right on the main road and once you park you will walk in on the trails leading from the main entrance. No car is needed inside the park.

Is it possible to get a good guide upon arriving or does that need to be arranged beforehand?

When I went to Carrara in January, there was a guide named Carlos hanging out near the ticket booth. I hired him and he was very helpful. From my experience get a guide, they know where to look for the wildlife.

I am arriving to the SJO airport at 11:30am...after customs, getting my car, I expect to leave at 1:00...getting to Carara by 3:00. Does the park completely close at 4:00 or just no new entries by 4:00?

I agree. In fact, I thinky it may take longer to get on the road so you are best off waiting to go the next day and this way you do not feel rushed.
