The only coral reef on the Costa Rican Caribbean coastline is
found within this national park, and with 500 species of fish it
affords excellent opportunities for snorkelling. It has stunning
beaches and is good for both land and water activities making it
one of the most visited parks on the Caribbean coast. A
well-defined trail runs through the coastal rainforest and howler
monkeys and sloths are among the wildlife attractions.

Admission: A US$7 fee is required if entering the park from the Puerto Vargas station. Entry at the Kelly Creek ranger station is by donation
