코스타리카‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산 정상

The entrance to the jungle descent is located to the left of the modern building and leads past an old building/ruin directly into the forest.

Volcan Barva: Volcán Barva, nestled within Braulio Carrillo National Park, offers a captivating escape into Costa Rica's cloud forest. Hike diverse trails leading to pristine crater lakes and panoramic viewpoints. Discover an incredible array of wildlife, from quetzals to monkeys. It's an ideal destination for nature lovers seeking tranquility and stunning natural beauty, just a short drive from San José.

Tickets can be purchased through the SINAC website. You must present an ID (cédula for Costa Ricans); otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter the park. Pets are not allowed. Bike parking is available. Park staff are extremely friendly and helpful. You can leave your vehicle in a parking lot 2 km before the entrance for ¢3,000 for the entire day, and then walk from there. You can reach the park by all-wheel drive vehicle or mountain bike.

A very beautiful viewpoint. We used the short circular trail to acclimatize/prepare for Cerro Chirripó, as you're at a very high altitude. Due to the altitude, it can be chilly and windy; we were there in April, and a sweater was sufficient. I can definitely recommend visiting the volcano in the morning. Between 8 and 10 a.m., there are hardly any people there, and the sky is usually still clear at this time. Clouds usually move up the mountain from mid-morning onward. The view is magnificent; however, the turquoise lakes aren't visible during the dry season; they're probably only full during the rainy season. There's a small restaurant that leaves nothing to be desired; all in all, it's fantastic.

A parking space is also a real highlight for some people. Stop, turn off the engine and park. If you like that, as long as you don't start the engine again

Very windy but beautiful.

The entire route is uphill, with few and small flat routes. It requires good condition and many, many desire to arrive xD ... But with time and patience it is achieved

After about 400 steps you have reached the summit of the extinct volcano and thus the highest elevation in the surrounding area. The view of the Tortuguero National Park and the Caribbean coast is terrific.
