| Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica- Birds, crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas Posted: 13 Feb 2015 07:52 PM PST  Green Iguana with his friends the Llanos birds Palo Verde National Park, a wildlife sanctuary, is located in central Costa Rica in the province of Guanacaste. The Park is home to sixty different species of birds, monkeys, crocodiles, and iguanas. It is a tropical dry forest which means it rains less here. But when it does rain, the water pools and attracted all the birds you see there. The park is part of the Tempisque River Conservation area consisting of 46,000 acres. The park protects vital flood plains , mangrove swamps, and limestone ridges. You can get on a boat and go down the Tempisque River. Most people hire a tour thru on of the tour companies in Costa Rica, which costs $96 per person plus transport costs from your hotel. Along the river you see all these large birds which come here to feed. Wood Storks, white ibis, roseate spoonbills, and black bellied whistle ducks. Monkeys hang out along the river bank and large iguanas can be sighted lounging in the trees. During mating season they turn an orange color. Crocodiles line the river banks. The tour takes several hours and starting early is best because the wildlife is more active in the mornings. Ann highly recommends a visit to the National Park. It is the one place in Costa Rica where you can see the most birds plus dozens of crocodiles, and colorful iguanas.  In Deep Thought If you would like to visit the Palo Verde National park during your vacation to Costa Rica, contact Ann, the Costa Rica Expert. She can arrange it for you.  wood stork
