Biological Reserve
Caño Negro
Caño Negro is a hub for tourism development, centered around the Caño Negro National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge is of a mixed nature, with some of its territory belonging to the state and another portion being privately owned.
Situated in the northern region of the country, near the Nicaraguan border, between the cantons of Guatuso and Los Chiles, it covers an area of 9,969 hectares. Its establishment aims to safeguard wetlands crucial for both land and aquatic wildlife, serving as a perpetual sanctuary for the region’s unique species.
Established as a RAMSAR Site on December 27, 1991, it is recognized globally for its importance in safeguarding valuable resources, making it one of the first two in Costa Rica. This protected area is now widely known among biologists worldwide and nature enthusiasts, as well as fishing enthusiasts, for its awe-inspiring biodiversity.
