Guanacaste National Park

Guanacaste National Park is a protected area in northern Costa Rica that forms a critical ecological corridor between the dry forests of the Pacific lowlands and the rainforests of the Caribbean slope. The park covers approximately 340 square kilometers of diverse terrain, spanning from the volcanic slopes of Orosí and Cacao volcanoes down to the Interamerican Highway where it adjoins Santa Rosa National Park. Established in 1991, the park is a cornerstone of the Area de Conservación Guanacaste, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its exceptional biodiversity. The park's elevation gradient creates a remarkable transition from dry tropical forest through cloud forest to subalpine páramo, making it a vital refuge for species that migrate seasonally between vastly different ecosystems.
