The Carara National Park is located in the cantons of Turrubares and Garabito, of the provinces of San José and Puntarenas, between the coordinates 9 ° 51 'and 9 ° 44' of north latitude, 84 ° 36 'and 84 ° 29 'of length, that is, 90 kilometers from San José. The main entrance is located 2 kilometers south of the Río Grande de Tárcoles.

Carara National Park Carara, which means "River of Lizards" in the Huetar indigenous language, has the only transitional forest in the Central Pacific, which translates into a diversity of flora and fauna, where species typical of dry and humid forests converge.

This National Park is a world-renowned ornithological destination, as it has a very diverse avifauna, where the Red Lapa (Ara macao) is found, an endangered species, being the second largest species of Psitacidae in Costa Rica.

It is undoubtedly one of the main sites in the country for bird watching, and it will be included in the next Guide of the Costa Rican Institute of Tourism.

Due to its location and easy access on Route 34, this park is also suitable for day visits.

It was originally established as the Carara Biological Reserve on April 26, 1978
