Palo Verde National Park is one of the most biodiverse areas in Costa Rica. It encompasses a rich mosaic of over 15 different natural communities, including the deciduous lowland forest, evergreen forest, flooded forest, deciduous limestone hill forest, grasslands, and mangroves. Wetlands, which represent some 50% of the park’s area, are a sanctuary for thousands of aquatic birds, both migratory and non-migratory. This led to the park being declared a Wetland of Importance under the Global Convention on Wetlands.
Incredible Resources
Over 750 species of plants have been identified, including the palo verde, pochote, Spanish cedar, and the Guanacaste tree. Five of the six species of mangrove present in Costa Rica can be found in the park. The fauna is just as impressive: over 280 species of migratory and non-migratory birds have been documented, some endangered or with shrinking populations, such as the scarlet macaw, jabiru, and great curassow. Additionally, the park is home to amphibians and reptiles, including the frog-eating snake, boa constrictor, South American rattlesnake, coral snake, crocodiles, iguanas, and alligators.
