Just 25 minutes North of Surf Inn Hermosa lies the Tarcoles River area and the Carara National Park. Both places offer an incredible setting for Bird photography. Early birding is highly recommended! The lush rainforest provides a nice backdrop to view shorebirds, seabirds and mangrove inhabitants. A river boat tour thru the mangroves is a treat to bird lovers and are home to many species of birds: The Mangrove Cuckoo, Mangrove Hummingbird, & Mangrove Warbler are just a few. Spoonbills, Herons and Hawks are others not too miss.

Manuel Antonio is located approximately 1 1/2 hours south of Surf Inn Hermosa and is one of the most visited National Parks in Costa Rica. It features not only rainforest, but spectacular white sand beaches. This is a great side trip from Surf Inn Hermosa and highly recommended with a guide who can show you all of the wildlife of the park. This picture features one of the famous three-toed sloths that can be seen thru the telescopes of the nature guide. Manuel Antonio’s nature trails are awesome to hike and take in all wildlife ranging from toads and iguanas to monkeys, toucans and songbirds. In 2011, this park was voted as one of the most beautiful national park by Forbes.
