Jacó & Herradura area
The Central Pacific region, where both the Herradura and Jacó beaches are located, offers something for everyone along the coastal littoral. This includes swimming and surfing, gorgeous beaches, small coastal villages, sport fishing, wildlife, outdoor activities and a nearby national park. In regards to weather, the area marks the boundary between the tropical dry zone (located farther North) and the tropical wet to the South. It has distinct rainy and dry seasons: May to November and December to April, respectively. Temperatures average around 30ºC (86ºF) in the dry season and are a little lower in the wet season but not by much.
Carara National Park lies precisely in this transition zone, at the apex of the Amazonian and Mesoamerican ecosystems and is a meeting place for species that live in both environments. Carara protects evergreen forest of great complexity and density, abundant wildlife (including the American crocodile, spider monkeys and numerous species of frogs) and is also one of the best birding localities in all Costa Rica, especially because of its endemic colony of scarlet macaws.
