 The road was bumpy, but was it worth it! This refuge protects one of the most important
wetland regions in Costa Rica's territory with a wide range of migratory
species and endangered species calling this home for part of the year.
Cano Negro Lake-a shallow, seasonal, freshwater
lake extending over 800 hectares-is a spill-off
site for the adjacent Frio River and its tributary,
the Monica River. The region is inhabited
by a wide range of flora and fauna and natural
communities, many of them unique and endangered.
This makes the area important worldwide, since,
combined with the wetland regions south of
Nicaragua Lake, it is one of the most outstanding
examples of wetlands in Mesoamerica.
Alex was at his best on this trip. We hooked up with a river tour services and along with their knowledgeable guide, we had a fantastic running commentary of the sights around us. The pictures below are just a snapshot of what we experienced as nothing can replace actually being there. We then continued on to Zarcero.
