Wilds Macaws Tour



Punta Islita, just south of Playa Carrillo, is home to the Macaw Recovery Network's Macaw Refuge and Breeding Center. This crucial conservation organization is dedicated to restoring the Scarlet Macaw population in Guanacaste. Their efforts have brought these majestic birds back to the region after local extinction.
This tour offers unique tours to observe these vibrant "lapa roja" in the wild. With expert guidance, visitors can witness the macaws soaring through their natural habitat around Samara, creating unforgettable memories.
The Macaw Refuge and Breeding Center plays a vital role in the project's success. Rescued or injured birds, unable to be released, are cared for and bred here. Their offspring are then released, contributing to the thriving population of over 50 Scarlet Macaws in the Wild Scarlet Macaw Reserve.
Don't miss the chance to explore this remarkable conservation success story. Our tours offer an immersive experience into the world of the lapa roja, connecting you with nature and supporting their continued survival.
