    Costa Rican Ocelot
    Welcome to Montezuma, Costa Rica
    Animal and Birds of Costa Rica

    The Montezuma area of Costa Rica is fortunate to have many conservation-minded residents, both native Costa Ricans and foreigners. Mariposas del Sol is surrounded by over 100 acres of private jungle reserves with no houses or roads, plus most of the surrounding area is also covered with jungle canopy.

    The following photos were all taken on the property. In addition to those in the photos, the following list of animals has also been seen on the property:

  • Jaguarundi (a wild cat - around 15-20 lbs)
  • Deer
  • Kinkajou
  • Paca (Tepesquintle)
  • Red Squirrels
  • Spotted Skunk
  • Coyote
  • Central American Wooly Tree Opossum
  • Tayra


    • A young Howler Monkey in Montezuma.
