5.00Excellent 2.5-hour nature tour in San José. Moderate walking through Parque La Libertad, a restored former landfill and cement factory now functioning as an urban biological corridor. We observed a wide diversity of birds, native plants, pollinator gardens, and a lake with turtles and waterfowl. Professional biology student guides from Oropopo Experience. Highly recommended.
