Punta Catedral

Punta Catedral is a named feature of the park’s coastal landscape and trail network. Ask rangers which routes are open before setting out. View the meeting of forest and sea from designated areas without stepping beyond barriers for a photograph.

Costa Ballena Whale Learning

Responsible marine observation can introduce families to humpback whales and their movements. Sightings depend on season and conditions; use an authorized operator that respects wildlife distances and never promises an encounter.

Damas Mangrove Outing

A separate guided excursion near Quepos introduces tidal channels and mangrove roots around Damas. Departure times and routes depend on the tide. Confirm the meeting point, flotation equipment and suitability for your group, and avoid touching or feeding wildlife.

Playa Gemelas

The park map identifies Playa Gemelas along its coastal trail network. Check current trail access with rangers and plan for your group’s walking ability. Enjoy the shoreline from permitted areas and leave shells, rocks and marine life where they belong.

Tortuguero Forest Walk

A permitted forest route can become a listening adventure. Compare sounds, leaf shapes and signs of water, staying on the route and following local wildlife guidance.

Cahuita National Park Outing

Cahuita is a separate outing north of Puerto Viejo. Its protected coastal landscape connects forest and sea; confirm entrance arrangements and trail conditions before visiting.

Gandoca Lagoon

Discover wetland scenery within the refuge through an authorized local outing. Respect wildlife and community access.

La Fortuna Bird Observation

Slow down along an established garden or forest path and listen before looking. Compare bird shapes and calls without feeding wildlife or using playback to attract it.

Puerto Escondido Viewpoint

The official park map includes a viewpoint toward Puerto Escondido. Treat this as a lookout outing on an authorized route, rather than assuming beach access is permitted. Follow closures and barriers, and bring water for the return walk.

Rainmaker Conservation Park

Rainmaker is a separate forest excursion outside Quepos, with trails, suspension bridges and water features. Arrange transport and check current access with the operator. Choose a route for your group’s abilities and recent weather rather than assuming every trail is suitable.

Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve

A longer outing from Santa Teresa leads to Cabo Blanco’s authorized visitor sector near Cabuya. The reserve protects forest and coastal habitat. Confirm current access, open trails and visitor requirements with SINAC before planning your day.

La Fortuna Rainforest Patterns

On a permitted forest route, search for leaf shapes, water droplets and roots. Draw what you notice and leave plants, fungi and small animals where they belong.
