INFORMATION ABOUT PALO VERDE NATIONAL PARK:

Palo Verde National Park, in Spanish Parque Nacional Palo Verde is a National Park of Costa Rica, part of the Tempisque Conservation Area, that includes much of the area of the valley of the Tempisque River. The surrounding region is mostly tropical dry forests. Palo Verde National Park is one of the most important parks in Costa Rica since it contains an endangered ecosystem in Central America, the tropical dry forest which is home to thousands of birds and various wildlife. The park protects one of the most endangered ecosystems. It is one of the last remaining tropical dry rainforests that once covered most of Central America. Tropical dry rainforests now exist in less than 0.1% of their original size and are considered to be the most endangered ecosystems in the tropics. In particular, the national park is top notch for bird watching as the lowlands of the river make for ideal wetlands for a variety of aquatic birds. This remote sanctuary spans more than 45,492 acres of land that includes lagoons, mangroves, limestone, grassland and forests.
