This area is teaming with abundant wildlife and hosts one of the most beautiful beaches and protected bays on the Nicoya Peninsula. The refuge offers easy access to seeing some of the most sought after species such as White-Faced monkeys, Howler monkeys, Spider monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, White-Tailed Deer,Collared Peccary, Coati, Raccoons, Coyotes, Iguanas and hundreds of species of tropical and migratory birds.

Curú is Costa Rica’s first private national wildlife refuge and is an example of a successful sustainable development program. The estate still includes low levels of cattle grazing and produces tropical fruits, such as mangos, on an annual basis; however, tourism, educational school groups and researchers are the focus of Curú today.
