Carara National Park is one of the best places in Costa Rica to see wildlife. It sits where the dry forest of the north meets the humid forest of the south, which is why it's home to such a wide variety of species. Santa Lucía Jungle Hacienda is the ideal hotel near Carara National Park for exploring it.
