It is our desire to make your experience at Hacienda Barú both entertaining and educational; to deepen your appreciation for the wonders of the tropical rainforest. Hacienda Barú´s guides are sharp-eyed and well trained. The majority come from local communities and have been familiar with the flora and fauna since childhood. On all our tours the guides carry a spotting scope to help you see wildlife close up.
Our tours fall into 3 different categories Canopy Exploration Tours, Hiking Tours and Night Tours.In this way we give you the chance to explore the rainforest from many different aspects

The troop of 26 monkeys was strung out over about 100 meters, moving through the forest. The lead monkey, a mature female, came to an area where the tree cover was broken by an open swamp with only a narrow corridor two trees wide going around it.
Our Gift Shop is well known in the area for having a wide variety of gifts. Not only will you find T-Shirts, Hammocks and Jewelry, but also a beautiful selection of Costa Rican made Arts and Crafts.
