Curú is a privately-owned refuge that has been protecting this dry forest for 40+ years. The animal density is wild — most groups see monkeys within the first 10 minutes.

Easy flat trails (great for kids and older walkers), a calm protected beach for a swim or a snack stop, and a naturalist guide who can spot a sloth from across a field.
