Home to a vast array birds and other wildlife, this nature reserve is made up of diverse ecosystems spanning marshland, mangroves, rivers, and dry forests.
Climb aboard a covered boat at the Bebedero River, which forms one of the park’s borders, and travel upstream on a leisurely cruise through the tropical dry forest that's teeming with life. Keep an eye out for crocodiles sunning on the riverbank, monkeys swinging through the trees, and exotic birds such as blue herons, jabirus, roseate spoonbills, and white ibis.
Later on, relax among the lush oasis of the Llanos del Cortés waterfall, where a curtain cascade drops into pools surrounded by a sandy beach. Cool off with a refreshing swim, or simply soak up the gorgeous tropical atmosphere.
Next, trade the tranquility of Palo Verde for the urban bustle of Liberia, the capital city of Guanacaste province. Spend about an hour here exploring on a city tour, with some free time to browse among local markets and shops. You’ll also treat your taste buds with an included lunch of typical Costa Rican fare featuring your choice of fish, meat, or chicken served with sides of rice, beans, and a salad.
