Santa Teresa, Nicoya Peninsula  >  Costa Rica

Gravel road without any traffic which passes intact jungle on one side and open pastures on the other. A wonderful road for a morning of bird watching.

Beschreibung

The beaches of the little village of Santa Teresa attract many young people who come to surf the waves of the Pacific Ocean or lie on the beautiful white beach. The beach and the jungle directly behind it are therefore busy with people and traffic. The Howler Monkey Road is a gravel road that runs above Santa Teresa and is the ideal road to escape the crowds and noise. The road passes intact jungle on one side and open pastures on the other. There is no traffic on the road and you will encounter few people. The area is teeming with birds and you can also often see howler monkeys jumping from tree to tree.

Among the birds that can be spotted are Black-headed Trogon, Groove-billed Ani, Squirrel Cuckoo, Grey Hawk, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Hoffmann's Woodpecker, Lineated Woodpecker, Crested Caracara, White-fronted Parrot, Orange-fronted Parakeet, Barred Antshrike, Rose-throated Becard, Scrub Euphonia and Long-tailed Manakin.

Zugang

The Howler Monkey Road (not the official name of the road) is located in the hills that rise up behind Santa Teresa. You can walk up from Santa Teresa through Jaguar Street (Calle el Jaguar), this is the shortest way, but note that this is a very steep climb and sometimes the road can be blocked. If you have your own transport the easiest way to get there is to drive up to the beginning of road, although you have to drive quite a bit to get there, because you have to drive around the hills. This is about a 9 km drive from Santa Teresa. Click on the P on the map for directions. You can park your car at the beginning of the road on the side of the road. Along the path you will encounter a fence (see 1 on the map) that you can easily climb over from the side. The road then enters private property, but it is allowed to walk there.
