To get to the Cano Negro Refuge, we will go through a great part of the San Carlos plains enjoying the beautiful scenery of the side of the road, a great variety of fields with different products, such as: sugar cane, legumes, fruit and vegetables. Besides the broad areas for cattle breeding.  

Upon arrival to Cano Negro, we will board a boat that will take us through the Canals of the river “Rio Frio” and its beautiful scenery. Thousands of animals inhabit the borders of the river and you shall enjoy seeing monkeys, sloths, caimans, turtles, bats and a great variety of birds.

This is one of Costa Rica’s refuges where the greatest diversity of flora and fauna can be observed.
