CURU NATIONAL WILDLIFE RESERVE
The Curu National Wildlife Reserve forms part of a large private estate of more than 85 hectares that have been set aside for wildlife protection, particularly wildcats and 220 recorded bird species. The trails in the reserve lead to three beautiful and peaceful beaches, namely COLORADO, CURU and QUESERA. The view from these beaches is that of the peninsula and the gulf opening to the Pacific Ocean. Dolphins and whales are occasionally sighted. The reserve is open to the public daily between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
GUAYABO, NEGRITOS & LOS PAJAROS ISLANDS
The Biological Reserves of Negritos and Guayabo Islands are located in the Gulf of Nicoya near Tortuga Island. Visitors to the islands enjoy sighting wildlife and touring around in small boats admiring the scenery.

Located at CABUYA POINT at the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, about 6 km from the town of Cabuya, south of Montezuma Beach, the Cabo Blanco Wildlife Reserve has more than 85% of its land covered with restored secondary forest and tropical lowland vegetation. One of the nature trails in the reserve leads to the famously gorgeous CABO BLANCO BEACH.
