Farther east of town in the small town of Pavones is Parque Viborana , an educational serpentarium and wildlife rehabilitation center. Owner Minor Camacho’s specialty is snakes, from which he extracts venom for study and medicinal purposes – quite a sight! Don Minor worked for years at the university of Costa Rica until setting up his own center.
Large terrariums house Costa Rica’s most deadly reptiles and there’s a walk-in cage to get close to boa constrictors. Open daily, and well worth the US $5 admission.
