Luxury is the details, nature is the experience...
From the tree canopies and jungle floors to the awe inspiring ocean waters, Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, fitting as the countries name translates to Rich Coast.
The county of Garabito, which extends from around the Guacalillo area (just before the famous crocodile bridge) to around Hermosa (next to Jaco), is part of a biological corridor named Paseo Las Lapas, meaning The way of the Macaws (named after the Scarlet Macaw) a beautiful and wonderfully common bird sighting in the Jaco and nearby areas, this corridor serves as a link between the marine area and the costal mountain range, the Scarlet macaw is a key species that migrates between the mountains and the coast, giving the corridor its species flagship name. This particular set of geographical circumstances is a haven for biodiversity from land to sea! (exotic bird species, all four species of monkeys, wild felines, endemic stingless bees, endemic spinner dolphins, mantas, and much more...)
