Review:
Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is situated on the southern end of the Nicoya Peninsula. It has the distinction of being Costa Rica’s first protected national park. This is the place to come for avid bird watchers. Dubbed the White Cape for its guano (seabird dung) encrusted rocks, large numbers of ospreys, brown boobies, frigate birds, laughing gulls, brown pelicans, and terns have made this their home, leading to the creation of a seabird sanctuary. Seabirds are just a part of the 240 bird species that can be found in the reserve. It is also a refuge for animals like wild cats, capuchin monkeys, pacas, and others. Naturalists of every sort will enjoy Cabo Blanco.
