Overview

Palo Verde National Park in Costa Rica, part of the Arenal Tempisque Conservation Area, spans 45,492 acres in Guanacaste Province, safeguarding the Tempisque River valley. It's vital for preserving floodplains, marshes, and limestone ridges from encroaching civilization, protecting diverse ecology like evergreen forests and mangrove swamps. The park hosts a ranger station, offering amenities and access to the Palo Verde Biological Station. Renowned for bird diversity, it shelters species like scarlet macaws, white ibis, and wood storks. During the dry season, it becomes a haven for birds due to water scarcity elsewhere, notably Parajos Island, a prime nesting site for black-crowned night-herons, contributing to the park's preservation of one of Central America's last tropical dry rainforests. Established as a wildlife refuge in the 1970s, it later gained national park status and international recognition for its ecological importance.

They gave us the trip of a lifetime

Published on Jun, 2024

We can not thank real tours enough for making our honeymoon a trip of a lifetime. From the moment we first enquired about excursions they could not do enough to help us plan and they were quick to respond. We done four excursions with them a boat tour/sloth sanctuary/Waterfall swim, stingray concervation, next was the mega combo and finally a trip to Nicaragua. On each trip our guide went above and beyond to make sure we got the most our of our day. Communication was amazing from a message the day before with all the information we needed. We even had a message after to make sure we had an amazing day. I could not recommend enough and they are partly why we are planning on coming back to Costa Rica
