A hidden world, accessible only by boat, these flooded forest are the largest untouched mangroves to be found in Costa Rica. Home to nearly a 100 species of birds, including the endemic mangrove hummingbird (found nowhere else on earth) the entire region is a twitcherís paradise.
Heron waders, owls, parrots and shore birds use this area as an important nesting and feeding ground.
Wildlife is prolific, with an abundance of reptiles including Caimans, Crocodiles, tree frogs boas, iguanas and river turtles. Mammals are also very common, and you will very likely see three species of monkeys (Howlers, Squirrel, and White Faced Capuchins) as well as Sloths and Coatis.
