We
arrived at the park after 45 minutes from Liberia,
of course we came well prepared for walking, comfortable
shoes, hat, binoculars, camera, sunscreen, insect repellent (very important), water and rainwear just in case.
Walk about 2 hours. During this walk we saw huge trees, waterfalls, monkeys, toucans and all kind of creatures great and small.
There is much to walk, near the top of the volcano is the lagoon
“Jilgueros”, its cold, clear waters are the result of rainfall and is characterized
by the
abundance of Goldfinches and Dantas (Tapir). We
would recommend a
knowledgeable guide to visit the area, about 4 hours one way walking, not all do. This park is closed on Monday if you dare to go.
