| The Rio Corobici, in
northwest Costa Rica, is aptly call a
"Walt-Disney—style" nature float trip. This 9-mile
journey through the jungle is perfect for bird watchers and nature
lovers. Along the Corobici and in nearby Palo Verde National Park
more than three hundred 300 species of birds have been sighted. Many
species make these jungle forests their permanent habitat. Birds
commonly seen along the Corobici include ospreys, mot-mots, herons,
jacanas, kingfishers, crested caracaras, and cormorants. Rafters are
also commonly treated to sights of iguanas, other species of
lizards, and playful howler monkeys. |
