Rancho Humo Guanacaste Costa Rica one day tour: The adventure begins

This one day tour in Guanacaste starts at the mighty Tempisque River, here we board a boat that takes us to the heart of Palo Verde National Park, which has the most valuable wetland in Costa Rica.

Palo Verde National Park, located in the low riverbank of the Tempisque River, is made up of an ecosystem of flooded plains, bordered by rivers and by a chain of limestone fiords. Palo Verde is one of the places with the highest biodiversity in the country; there are approximately 15 different habitats, as a result of the varied topography that includes flooded areas, drainages, and the influence of tides.

Among the habitats, wetlands can be found: lagoons and swamps of salty and fresh water. These ecosystems are declared of world priority according to the Ramsar Conference. In addition, you can see mangroves, pastures, small forests across the plains, tropical dry forests, flooded forests, and evergreen forests.
