Introducing Carate

It’s 45km by dirt road from Puerto Jiménez around the Cabo Matapalo to the end of the road at Carate, near La Leona ranger station in Parque Nacional Corcovado. This ride is an adventure in itself, as the narrow, bumpy dirt road winds its way around dense rain forest, through gushing rivers and across windswept beaches. Birdlife and other wildlife are prolific along this stretch: keep your eyes peeled and hang on tight. The ‘village’ of Carate consists of the airstrip, the pulpería, and that’s it.
