Be prepared
to get muddy and wet on this tour - here we are in the heart
of the rainforest: it rains a lot, the ground is muddy and
the tractor ride is most adventurous. But - this experience
will make you forget everything else...
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".
