Bijagua Nature Experiences
Bijagua de Upala is a Costa Rican hidden gem. Just an hour from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, Bijagua offers an incredible diversity of wildlife and nature experiences without the crowds of some other destinations.
In Bijagua, it's possible to see over 400 species of birds, dozens of reptiles and amphibians, sloths, monkeys, and the endangered Baird's Tapir.
Tapir Walks
Local conservation projects in Bijagua have made it one of the premier places in the world to encounter the endangered Baird's Tapir. While these incredible creatures can be seen throughout the area (if you're lucky), the best way to see them is during one of the local night tours.
