This vibrant region, named after the mighty Sarapiqui River, is a paradise of biodiversity and outdoor activities. As you explore the area, you'll be surrounded by the symphony of exotic birds and the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze.

One of the main attractions is the La Selva Biological Station, a world-renowned research center where you can embark on guided tours to discover the incredible flora and fauna of the rainforest.
