Cabo Blanco Absolute Reserve
Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve extends over an area of 1250 hectares of forest and many kilometers of dramatic coastline. It is also the home of hundreds of animals and plant species (including the white faced and howler monkeys, the long-tailed coati and the unique white-tailed deer). Ocelots and Jaguars have also been spottted in more than one occasion!
It was the first National Park to be established in Costa Rica back in 1963 thanks to the huge effort of a Swedish couple, Karen Morgensen and Olof Wessbergwho “reconverted” most of the pasture land near the actual park back to its past splendour, that of a primary forest.
Park visitors can choose two different type of trails, none of them presents particular difficulties.One of the trails willl take you to the magnificent pristine Playa Balsita bay, be careful of its strong currents, swimming is not recommended. Look up the cliffs with your binocular instead, you might spot eagles' nests.
Water is available along the trail, bring your own bottle to collect some for the beach”.
If you want to be the first one in walk to the park early in the morning
Being second means having missed more than half of the entire animal population.
My recomendation is to spend your night in Cabuya in one of the cosy cabins and “jungalows” available. Get up for an early breakfast and then walk along the beach to the park entrance.
You will have a lot to write home about!
The park is open from 8 am to 4pm, closed Monday and Tuesday.
Entrance fee $ 6.
