Juan Castro Blanco

Juan Castro Blanco National Park
Location: Located in Alajuela province, East of Ciudad Quesada. Importance: 50% of the area is covered with mixed primary forests, with some patches of regenerative forest. The vegetation is extraordinarily varied. It is important because of the role it plays in the conservation of the forest, in soil maintenance and the conservation of the springs that later become the rivers that irrigate the San Carlos plains.
