Recently
declared in 1992, this park is designed to protect the cloud forest
habitat and important watershed atop the westernmost peaks of the Central
Volcanic Cordillera. Although there have been no eruptions recorded
during recent history, the volcanic origins of this massif are underscored
by the numerous hot springs that emerge from its northern flank. The
highest points on the summit are: Porvenir Volcano (2,267 m.), Platanar
Volcano (2,183 m.), and Viejo Volcano (2,060 m.). Unfortunately,
the government has yet to finance the purchase of the private property
affected by the declaration of this park, and so to date there are no
facilities for visitors. We can assist you in planning your trip in Costa Rica! Please contact our travel division on how to customize your vacation to meet your budget and expectations. We replay with a suggested itinerary and cost within 24 hours.
