The Pacuare Nature Reserve
A wildlife paradise on theCaribbean coast! A breathtaking Costa Rica travel highlight!

In the Atlantic region of Costa Rica there is a protected zone of incomparable beauty that begins near the town of Siquirres and coversapproximately 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) as it descends down the Talamanca mountain range. This is the area known as the Pacuare, with altitudes varying from 100 meters to 700 meters. The Pacuare islocated between the coastal lowlands and the country's highest mountain range and constitutes one of the most important protected areas of major biological importance. High annual rainfall, along withits proximity to the lowlands and lower altitudes, combine to nurture the Pacuare's complex life systems whose abundance make this area a place of extraordinary scenic beauty, and a great choice for anyCosta Rica travel itinerary

This area is still inhabited by the Cabecares Indians, whose hut dwellings are spaced far apart over large distances, rather than being clustered as was true of mostnative tribes. The Pacuare is their lifeblood, and you can hike the same paths that this indigenous tribe still uses. Trails in the Pacuare rainforest wander in all directions, cutting through themountains and permitting exploration, with time to understand and appreciate the beauty of this unique tropical rain forest. This is a lovely Costa Rica travel sight.
