Palo Verde
A bird sanctuary with water mirrors
This park is made up of lagoons and mangroves that drain into the Río Tempisque. It is a sanctuary for thousands of aquatic birds, both migratory and non-migratory, which is what led the park to be declared a Wetland of Importance under the Global Convention on Wetlands (RAMSAR).
Within the park is the 2.3-hectare Isla de Pájaros (Bird Island), located just offshore from the park. The island is incredibly important, since it is home to the country’s largest colony of the black-crowned night heron and is one of the most important waterfowl nesting islands in Central America. It is also the habitat of three species of endangered waterfowl:
