Along the highway from La Fortuna towards Turrialba is a small tourist attraction called the Costa Rica Eco-Observatory. The site makes a nice road-trip detour along the highway as it's an excellent way to see many Costa Rican bird and amphibian species all concentrated in one small area.
The owners of the Eco-Observatory are a father-son duo, a team whose family has owned the land for the past few decades. Before opening to the public, the small family spent years helping create an physical environment favorable to various native species, now having reached a plant and animal population large enough to educate their visitors. Iguanas, toucans, and numerous other bird species are found in abundance as the observatory's many fruit trees attract them within a few dozen feet of the pavilion.

One of the unique aspects of the eco-observatory is the amphibian population.
The Eco-Observatory's property is covered in wild poison dart frogs,
easily accessible and viewable along the trails.
