Palo Verde Boat Safari in Bebedero
Palo Verde National Park is a wildlife refuge located between Tempisque and Bebedero rivers; in this park we can find the biggest area of wetlands in Costa Rica. The name of the park comes from the “palo verde”. In English it is known as horse bean, but its name literally means “green stick” as the leaves, branches and trunk of this thorny shrub are all green, it also has delicate, yellow flowers.
On this tour you will get to experience a floating safari adventure through the tropical Costa Rican dry forest. Once on the boat, the captain will go down the Bebedero River & you will get to admire the natural beauty of the Palo Verde National Park, including an impressive abundance of wildlife such as crocodiles resting in the sun, groups of monkeys that move quickly among the branches and an incredible variety of migratory and local bird species.
Some birds are resident species plentiful in the area and it is possible to see hundreds of them like: Anhinga or “Snake Bird”, Roseate Spoonbill, Wood Storks, the Jabiru, the largest bird in Central America and very endangered. Also we can see the Olivaceous Cormorant, the White Ibis, Blue Herons and much more.
Palo Verde’s natural hydrological system creates the right conditions to produce the highest concentration of waterfowl and waders in the area, both resident and migratory, in the country and Central America.
