Review & FAQ:

Situated in the Central Volcanic Range, the Braulio Carrillo National Park is 50,000 hectares of glorious nature, and one of Costa Rica’s largest protected parks. The Park is treasured for being home to spectacular volcanoes such as the Cacho Negro volcano and the Barva volcano and offers outdoor enthusiasts the chance to explore the surrounding scenic areas through three trails that wind through the rainforest. Stop by scenic lookouts, read interpretive stations, or take in the beauty of the Rio Sucio River while exploring the park’s four trails: the Mirador Vara Blanca, the Cacho Venado, the Laguna Barva, and the Copey trail. Camping opportunities are also available at the Braulio Carrillo National Park.
