The Rainmaker Conservation Project is a private nature reserve and adventure park in Parrita, in Puntarenas Province on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. It is also known as Rainmaker Park. The reserve protects more than 1,500 acres of primary rainforest, and visitors come to see that forest up close.
What to expect
The park is built around its habitat. Suspended bridges carry walkers across the forest, and canopy walks lift them into the upper layers of the trees, where the view changes from the floor of the jungle to the leafy roof above. Waterfalls along the trails add a different kind of scenery, and the sound of falling water is often part of the walk.
