Hacienda Barú

Fodor's Review:

The Hacienda Barú nature reserve is a leader in both ecotourism and conservation, with a turtle protection project and nature education program in the local school. The birdwatching is spectacular, with excellent guides. You can stay at the cabins or just come for the day to walk the forest and mangrove trails, zip through the canopy on cables, or climb a tree or stake out birds on an observation platform.
