Curú Wildlife Refuge

Highly recommend this place - still a hidden gem...less people and a lot of wildlife going on! The different walks are nice too- go by your own or join the free guides walking tours! After y can relax at the beach and have a swim - showers are also provided! We loved our time here!! Ah- take care about your car and don't leave anything open- otherwise the raccoons and monkeys will get in ;-)

A hidden gem! Beautiful hiking trails, beach is protected in a cove, the water was warm and clear. Monkeys came right out onto the beach. Saw some raccoons, deer and macaws. All the proceeds from the store, restaurant and entry fee go back i to maintaining the area.

We had a lovely time hiking around this place. Saw lots of wildlife including coatis, an agouti, various types of birds including a green parrot, howler monkeys, a white faced monkey, and probably more I'm forgetting. We basically had the trails to ourselves which was nice. We had lunch here and it was also tasty. When we left we got to see a guy on horseback herding cows which was also neat.

Plenty of animals and plants to see: Monkeys, macaos, dears, wild porcs, coatis, ignanas, basilics. A beautiful beach and some senderos (not in great shape though…) to walk

This is an awesome place. Knowing all that Jeremy and his team and volunteers who are making a difference in the world. The facility is beautiful. The resting/view area is amazing. The bar is a nice touch too. I highly recommend this as a stop while you are in the area

It's bad. Thankfully there are a couple of trails that are closed. As bad as the open ones are I can't imagine what the others look like. Handrails are typically rotten if they still exist, but most of them are just gone. Despite instructions to stay on the trail the trail is impassable from flowering water and mud at many points where you have to walk over the broken handrails to walk through the forest. The bridges are all bad, but the first wooden one cracked as I walked it and I made my wife walk separately for safety. Signs are non-existent or confusing with several forks lacking any guidance. When we finally found out way to the main road we skipped everything else so that we wouldn't get lost again. Perhaps because I took photos of how bad the trail is they did refund our money. The ticket person was very nice but others who ran one of the tour businesses were not. Maybe he didn't appreciate being told that $24 per person for a guided walk was too much. We were lucky that we anchored our own boat in the bay, but I would feel terrible if you took an expensive ferry to ensure this so called attraction.

Absolutely shat ourselves crossing the bridges. Didn’t know wooden bridges could move so much or feel so fragile and not collapse! The trail map is a little hard to find - we should have taken a photo of it, and gave up as we had no idea how far round we’d gotten. The wildlife and beach are fantastic. We loved seeing the crabs in the forest and the monkeys. Would go again, but would love to see some of the broad walks given a little care and maintenance.

We did a private walking tour with Milton. He was recommended by the Refuge. Best decision we made. He was so knowledgeable and observant. We learned so much about the wild life and the fauna. We would have missed a lot of the wild life if he did not point it out. You will not regret booking him.
