This hidden jewel is 2.5 hours north of Jaco and a must do!! It is pricy getting there but well worth the drive. They have an Aviary where you can see all types of tropical birds, a butterfly sanctuary, all types of monkeys that you can get close to, a hummingbird garden where you can feed the hummingbirds, snakes, a rainarium (frogs are climbing freely in a natural setting), a waterfall trail and much.
