Palo Verde National Park

It forms part of the biographic unit known as Tempisque lowlands. These flood plains create a mosaic of diverse habitats that are bordered by rivers and a ridge of limestone hills. The flora and fauna of the park is amazingly rich, especially migratory birds that fly from North or South America searching for warm climates during the winter time. Visitors may discover the wonders of the park either by foot or boat, navigating on the Bebedero River or Tempisque River.

The Tempisque lowlands consist of vast flooded plains covered with river and lake silt deposits. They are the habitat of many species of waterfowl and wading birds.
