Rara Avis is a remote virgin forest area of more than 2,471 acres at the eastern side of the Braulio Carillo National Park and is protected by a private initiative. The biological research station is an excellent example that the rainforest can be made economically productive and so be saved from destruction. In Rara Avis, more than 330 different kinds of birds have been discovered, and besides innumerable kinds of bromeliad, orchids and lianas you are most likely to see monkeys, anteaters and coatimundis. Though you may spot tracks of tapirs and jungle cats, these animals are hardly to be seen, since the huge forest area gives them enough space to withdraw from „invaders".
The Rara Avis Waterfall Lodge is a comfortable but rustic lodge with eight rooms set in the jungle, each with a private bath with hot water and a wrap-around balcony. The lodge is located about 200 meters from a waterfall. |
