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, beaches, small coastal villages, sportfishing,
wildlife, outdoor activities, and a national park. Climatologically
the area marks the boundary between the tropical dry zone
farther North and the tropical wet to the South. It has distinct
wet and dry seasons: May to November and December to April,
respectively. Temperatures average around 30ºC (86ºF) in the
dry season, and a little lower in the wet season. The 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 from both. Carara protects evergreen
forest of great complexity and density, abundant wildlife
including the American crocodile, spider monkeys and frogs,
and is also one of the best birding localities in all Costa
Rica, especially because of its colony of scarlet macaws.
