This is the northernmost region of Pacific rainforest remaining in Costa Rica, and this is the beginning of the transition zone in the tropical dry forests of the northwest. Carara is one of Costa Rica's national parks, very few near San Jose. Carara is a favorite among birders for several reasons, in addition to its ease of access.
Firstly, its position in a transition zone means that residents of both habitats are likely to occur. Second, the Rio Grande de Tarcoles has no fluid sections and its waters seep into seasonal wetlands and shallow oxbow lake covered with hyacinths further increase the number of local habitats. Finally, because it is a little dry, and all the trees are evergreen, Carara is more open than the rainforests further south making wildlife easier
