Hacienda Baru Wildlife Refuge

Tags rainforests, beaches, oceans, wildlife refuges

The rainforest has reclaimed the pastures, cacao and teak farms that once spanned Hacienda Baru. Hike through thickets of secondary growth, primary forest, sandy beaches and clear streams concealing two- and three-toed sloths, capuchin monkeys, coatis, sea otters, poison dart frogs and sea turtles. Among the bramble of the canopy dwell toucans, trogons, motmots, tinamous, as well as whimbrels, plovers and sandpipers.
