Maquenque Wildlife Refuge in Alajuela, Costa Rica at Google Maps<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maquenque Wildlife Refuge Costa Rica<\/strong>: established by executive decree in June 13th 2005, thanks to the initiative of Eduardo Artavia, his wife and six children, to maintain and conserve the wildlife habitat, protecting different types of ecosystems, such as the fragile wetlands and the tropical rainforest endagered species. This refuge is located to the north of Boca Tapada in San Carlos, Alajuela.<\/p>\n<p>Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge is part of the Arenal Huetar Norte Conservation Area and an intermediate strip of the Nicaragua-Costa Rica Border Corridor National Wildlife Refuge, in the northern part of Costa Rica, some 130km from San Jose, 30km from Pital and only 21km from the San Juan river, the natural border with Nicaragua.<\/p>\n<p>This property is surrounded by virgin nature, which includes a lagoon complex and swamp ecosystems of the tropical wet forest ecoregion, characterized by high biodiversity and the livelihoods of endangered species such as the Great Green Macaw (Ara ambigua), vulnerable species like the Manatee (Trichechus manatus) and other important species such as the Jaguar (Panthera onca) and the Gaspar Fish (Atractosteus tropicus), which makes the Maquenque Wetland unique in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the wetland plays an important hydrological function to the surrounding watershed. Inside the refuge 4 wetlands have been identified: Maquenque, Tambor, Colpach\u00ed and Canacas.<\/p>\n<p>The refuge is part of a proposal to bring together a number of existing Nature Reserves, Wildlife refuges and Forest Reserves to form a new National Park, covering the areas between the San Carlos River, the Sarapiqu\u00ed River and other areas near the Nicaraguan border. Among the existing reserves that would be consolidated would be Cerro El Jardin Forest Reserve, La Cure\u00f1a Forest Reserve, Lacustrino Maquenque Wetlands and the Palustrino Tamborcito Wetlands.<\/p>\n<p>Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge is a mix of habitats on both sides of the San Carlos River, with sections of former pasture lands that are now being reforested. There are about 40 hectares of secondary forest bordering the western edge, while to the east, the refuge borders a neighbor that holds hundreds of hectares of some of the oldest forests in northern Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge is home to a rich biodiversity of animals and plants, with large amounts of Almond trees, which can&#8217;t be found in any other national park <a href=\"https:\/\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/maquenque-wildlife-refuge-costa-rica\/great-green-macaw-ara-ambigua-on-nest-maquenque-national-park-costa-rica\/#main\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3045\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/maquenque-wildlife-refuge-costa-rica\/great-green-macaw-ara-ambigua-on-nest-maquenque-national-park-costa-rica\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-lapa-verde.jpg?fit=350%2C233&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,233\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Great green Macaw (Ara ambigua) on nest.

This region has some of the best habitats for the Great Green Macaw and there is a big number of nests in the area. Also, among the species of accounted animals, there are approximately 139 mammals, 135 reptiles, 80 amphibians and 424 birds, since wetlands are of great importance as habitat for water birds, many are seen near the large lagoon and along the San Carlos River, such as the Scaly-throated Leaftosser (Sclerurus guatemalensis), Blue Dacnis or Turquoise Honeycreeper (Dacnis cayana) and Black-and-yellow Tanager (Chrysothlypis chrysomelaena).<\/p>\n<p>The refuge is also of vital importance as it is the core of the San Juan \u2013 La Selva Corridor. This corridor allows connections between ecosystems (both public and private) in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, making it an important part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. It is also located in a zone designed to protect the whole group of native species and fulfill basic corridor functions of connectivity, while maximizing compatible sustainable forestry uses and benefits from environmental services.<\/p>\n<p>For years, Maquenque Wetland has been competing with other wetlands, located throughout the world, to enter the Ramsar listing, abbreviated name for the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, which was an agreement signed February 2, 1971 in the city of Iran, Ramsar.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3046\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/maquenque-wildlife-refuge-costa-rica\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?fit=334%2C264&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"334,264\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge Wetlands in San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?fit=334%2C264&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3046\" title=\"Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge Wetlands in San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?resize=334%2C264&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?w=334&amp;ssl=1 334w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?resize=300%2C237&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/costaricainfolink.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/maquenque-parque-nacional-costa-rica-humedales.jpg?resize=150%2C118&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other nearby parks in the area include Cerro El Jardin Forest Reserve, La Cure\u00f1a Forest Reserve, Arenal Volcano National Park and an intermediate strip of Nicaragua-Costa Rica Border Corridor National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting to Maquenque Wildlife Refuge:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take the Pan-American Highway from San Jose towards north.
