Baru National Wildlife Refuge Accommodations And Information |
Baru National Wildlife Refuge protects three km of beach plus mangrove swamp and at least 40 hectares of primary rainforest: a safe haven for anteaters, ocelots, kinkajous, tayras, capuchin monkeys, and jaguarundis. More than 310 bird species have been recorded: roseate spoonbills, magnificent frigate birds, boat-billed herons, kingfishers, curassows, falcons, cormorants, anhingas, and owls, among others. Olive ridley and hawksbill turtles come ashore to nest at Playa Barú. Trails ($3 pp access fee) lead through pasture, fruit orchards, cacao plantations, and forest. More than a dozen petroglyphs carved onto large rocks are the most obvious remains of what may be an ancient ceremonial site.
There’s a canopy tour observation platform suspended 100 feet up, and guided tree-climbing is offered in either a bosun’s chair with a winch or using rappelling equipment. You can rent horses. A series of guided hikes include “A Night in the Jungle” that ends at a fully equipped jungle tent camp where you can spend the night. There are also kayak tours of the mangrove. Local children have a “Save the Ridley Turtle” program; a nursery raises turtle hatchlings. This is a place you cannot miss!- Coconut Grove
