Carara National Park : Carara National Park is a National Park in the Central Pacific Conservation Area located near the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.  It was established on April 27, 1978 as a biological reserve, but its growing popularity after 1990 forced the government to upgrade its category to national park due to the massive numbers of tourist that visited it. Thus on November 1998 Carara was upgraded to national park status.  Carara lies about 30 miles west of the Costa Rican capital of San José and about 15 miles north of the beach town of Jaco. The park protects the river basin of the River Tárcoles, near Orotina and includes one of the largest remaining populations of wild Scarlet Macaw in the country.  Carara National Park contains more primary rainforest than the relatively close Manuel Antonio National Park. As such, it is wetter than the more popular Manuel Antonio National Park, and has denser tree growth and more mosquitoes and other insects.

Manuel Antonio National Park : Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse areas in the world. Although it is the country's smallest national park, the stunning beauty and diversity of wildlife in its 683 hectares is unequaled.  Manuel Antonio contains a charming combination of rain forest, beaches and coral reefs. This beaches are the most beautiful in the country, lined with lush forest, and the snorkeling is excellent too. The forest is home for sloths, iguanas, and millions of colorful little crabs. And the trail that winds around Punta Catedral affords some spectacular views. The popular park is easy to reach from San Jose.
