Frequently Asked Questions

We find the dry season, from December to April, offers the most comfortable weather for exploring the refuge and enjoying Coconut Grove's amenities. The trails are less muddy, and wildlife viewing is often excellent as animals congregate around remaining water sources. However, the green season brings lush landscapes and fewer crowds, which we also appreciate.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to encounter while staying at Coconut Grove or visiting Finca Baru del Pacifico?

From Coconut Grove, you'll often spot vibrant macaws flying overhead and howler monkeys in the trees surrounding the property - their calls are an unforgettable alarm clock. Within Finca Baru del Pacifico, we've had incredible sightings of sloths, capuchin monkeys, and a dazzling array of tropical birds, especially along the river trails. Keep an eye out for the elusive anteaters and coatis too.

Beyond visiting Finca Baru del Pacifico, what other unique activities or excursions do you recommend we experience from Coconut Grove?

We highly recommend a guided night walk into the refuge; the jungle truly comes alive with different creatures after dark, offering a completely new perspective. For a change of pace, consider a surf lesson at Dominical Beach, just a short drive away, or explore the Nauyaca Waterfalls for a refreshing swim - both are fantastic ways to experience the local area.
