The National Wildlife Refuge Caño Negro is the most significant wetland in Costa Rica, located in the northern plane. This magnificent refuge is about 10,000 hectares. It naturally incorporates several unique ecosystems, such as a lagoon system, navigable rivers, creeks, rainforests, extensive marsh, and open and semi-open environments. Since 1991 Caño Negro Refuge is part of the Ramsar Convention. To visit Caño Negro Refuge, you have to drive to Caño Negro village. A small town surrounded by the refuge.
Because Caño Negro Refuge is a wetland with such different ecosystems, this protected area evolved into one of the most visited by Nature-lovers, birdwatchers, and any kind and active photographer. If one or all of these specific activities are your things, this is the right place to explore.
