Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco

Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco, sometimes called the 'Water Park' due to its abundant water resources, spans over 35,000 acres in the central highlands of Costa Rica. The park is characterized by its rolling hills, cloud forests, and volcanic landscape with altitudes ranging from 720 to 2,200 meters. It is home to a rich array of biodiversity including howler monkeys, resplendent quetzals, and a variety of amphibians. The park's location in the Continental Divide's misty realms ensures a rich hydrological network feeding into major rivers and waterfalls. Established in 1992, this area provides a haven for hiking, birdwatching, and studying unique ecosystems, offering both hardcore and leisure adventurers a treasure trove of natural wonders.
